Wind is the horizontal movement of air from an area of?
Wind occurs because air tends to move from region of higher to lower pressure.
What type of energy causes all winds and breezes?
Air pressure is the type of energy that causes all winds and breezes. When horizontal differences in parcels of air occur, it generates wind. The flow of the air travels from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.
What is the process by which gas particles under pressure flow through a tiny opening?
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is diffusion.
Why are lower motor neurons referred as the finals pathway?
Lower motor neurons are referred to as the final pathway because they are the last stage in the neural circuitry that conveys motor commands from the central nervous system to the muscles. They directly innervate the muscles and are responsible for initiating muscle contraction and generating movement.
Air moves from where pressure is higher to lower or lower to higher?
Higher to lower.
Wind is the horizontal movement of air from an area of?
Wind occurs because air tends to move from region of higher to lower pressure.
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is?
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is diffusion.
What is the source of wind?
The movement of air from an area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure
How wind is generated?
Movement of air, which naturally goes from a higher pressure to a lower pressure.
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is called?
EFFUSION
IS The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called diffusion?
No, diffusion deals with concentrations not pressures.
The movement of fluid through the cell membrane from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area is called?
active transport
What happens to the sind speed as the air pressure gets lower..why?
It increases. High pressure air always moves toward low pressure areas. When there is low pressure, the high pressure moves in, and the movement of air creates wind.
How does building on slopes increases erosion?
It increases the likelihood of mass movement as the pressure of lower faults, joints and strata has increased.
How a pressure difference is responsible for the movement of air?
The pressure pushes it around depending on how high or low the air pressure is.ANSWERAir moves from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. If you have a water balloon and you squeeze it, the area where your fingers are is similar to a high pressure zone. The water then flows away from your fingers to the lower pressure areas of the balloon. That is how air flows in the atmosphere. Things such as humidity and temperature differences cause the different pressure zones, and the air flows from high pressure areas to lower pressure ones.
What is the circular movement of air that cause the wind?
The movement revolves around the Low Pressure System. At the center of a Low, air rises. That air descends in High Pressure Systems, that exist wherever Lows do not. This means that the Low Pressure System is the active feature of the [lower 10 km's of the] Atmosphere.
