Is wind a force of the hydrosphere?
Wind is a force of the atmosphere. The equivalent force in the hydrosphere would be an ocean current.
What measures wind direction and strength?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
Wind scale on which the force of wind is indicated by a series of numbers?
The Beaufort scale.
Did the lateen sail decrease a sailer's dependence on the force of the wind or on the direction of the wind?
It reduced their dependence on the direction of the wind.
How do Meteorologists describe the wind force by?
They use the Beaufort scale to classify winds and wind speeds.
What is an instrument for measuring wind force?
You can measure wind force with force transducer.
Is wind a force of the hydrosphere?
Wind is a force of the atmosphere. The equivalent force in the hydrosphere would be an ocean current.
What is the name of the force that causes wind to blow?
Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force. The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.
How do sailboats sail into the wind?
Wind Force + Drag Force = Boat Mass * Acceleration.The wind force overcomes the drag force of the boat.Drag Force = Water Pressure * Keel Area + Air Pressure* Exposed Boat AreaMost of the drag is due to the keel moving through the water. The sails, lines, mast, crew and cargo also add wind resistance.Wind Force = Wind Pressure* Sail Area.The greater the wind pressure and the greater the area of the sail, the greater the wind force.
How are wind energy made?
Wind energy is formed from the force of the wind on a propellar.
The force that generates wind is?
Pressure gradient force
What are are the 3 formations of wind?
There are three main formations of wind. These formations of wind include pressure gradient force, Coriolis force, as well as friction.
What is the basic principle of wind mill?
The basic principle behind the wind mill is that the wind as an external force changes the static force to a kinetic force(from rest to motion).This kinetic energy rotates the wind mill blades which produces electricity.
Is wind energy caused by wind?
Yes. but it is rather caused by the the force and the direction of the wind.
What is the primary driving force of wind?
pressure gradient force
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
Sand dunes are formed by this erosional force?
It is called aeolian erosion
