What are local winds?
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.

What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
What do strong winds readily pick up and carry?
Strong winds readily pick up and carry small grains of sediment. Your welcome!
Widely spaced isobars often indicate?
They indicate a large pressure difference over a small area, which will cause strong winds.
