Why are upper winds stronger than surface wind?
Surface winds are slowed by friction caused by topography as well as the built environment.
The energy that creates surface ocean currents comes from prevailing winds?
True
In the doldrums where surface winds from two hemispheres meet there is?
hot, humid air with little or no wind
What are five factors that affect the type of soil in a particular area?
- Oceans - Latitude - Altitude - Topography - Earths Winds
Does the weather move west to east all over the world?
"Weather" designates atmospheric conditions in a given geographic area for a given period. Hence, weather cannot be said to move at al. The above answer is quie true. However, earth surface winds in the northern hempishere that create local weather do generally tend to move west to east, opposite of the Earths rotation.
What is a primary cause for surface winds on earth?
A primary cause for surface winds on the earth is the Earths Rotation.
What are winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
What are high winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
What is global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of earths surface?
Prevailing winds.
What are quick moving winds that flow high above earths surface?
seasons
Which is a calm area on Earths surface where warm air rises?
trade winds
Define global winds?
Global winds are winds that blow From the poles, in which they act as a heat transfer system. Global winds are due to the unequal heating of earths surface
What are the bands of high speed winds about ten kilometers above earths surface are the?
The jet stream
How does friction between the ground and the molecules in the air affect winds near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
What bands of high-speed winds about 10 kilometers above earths surface called?
Jet Streams
What bands of high speed winds about 10 kilometers above earths surface called?
The jet stream.
What causes winds to appear to turn on the earths surface?
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
