What is the movement of air caused by differences in air pressure called?

It is called wind.


What is the flow of air in a loop caused by differences in temperatures and pressure called?

It's called wind.


What is the basic underlying reason for the movement of air shown?

The movement of air shown is due to differences in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to balance out the pressure differences.


What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?

When pressure differences are small you get light winds.


What do you call the flow in a air loop caused by differences temperature and pressure?

It is called a convection.


Why does air in the atmosphere move?

Temperature differences is why air moves in the atmosphere. Hot air rises, cold air falls. With these temperature difference comes pressure differences and these temp. and pressure differences are what keep the air moving. Theoretically, if there were no temp. or pressure differences in the atmosphere, air would not move.


What differences cause wind?

Wind is caused by differences in air pressure. When air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, wind is generated. The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun is a major factor in creating these pressure differences that lead to wind.


Why does air pressure vary?

Air pressure varies because of the differences in air's density.

What is air that is constantly moving because of the differences in water temperature and land temperature?

The term for air that is constantly moving due to differences in water and land temperature is called wind. This movement is caused by variations in atmospheric pressure and the Earth's rotation, which create differences in temperature and pressure that drive air circulation.


What movement of the air caused by differences in air pressure?

wind
