What else can I help you with?
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 is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure called?
The movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure is called wind. This phenomenon occurs due to differences in air pressure, which can result from temperature variations, the Earth's rotation, and other factors. As air moves to equalize pressure differences, it creates various wind patterns that can influence weather and climate.
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 causes air pressure differences on our planet?
I have a science test this week and was wondering what causes air pressure differences on our planet?
What are differences in air temperature create differences in air pressure?
Differences in air temperature create variations in air pressure due to the behavior of air molecules. Warm air is less dense and rises, leading to lower pressure in that area, while cooler air is denser and sinks, resulting in higher pressure. This movement of air creates wind and drives weather patterns, as air flows from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas to equalize the pressure differences. Thus, temperature variations are fundamental to the dynamics of the atmosphere.
What cause the air to move?
differences in air pressure
