What else can I help you with?
What is the cause of differences in air pressure?
Causes air to move from poles toward the equator
What do you call winds that change directions?
The uneven cooling and heating of the Earth by the Sun cause seasonal changes in wind direction. The heating and cooling causes temperature differences that then develop into wind currents.
What causes land breezes sea breezes and convection currents?
Land breezes and sea breezes are caused by the differential heating and cooling of land and water. During the day, land heats up faster than water, creating a low-pressure area over the land that draws in cooler air from the sea, resulting in a sea breeze. At night, the process reverses, leading to a land breeze. Convection currents are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which leads to the rising of warm air and the sinking of cool air, creating a continuous cycle.
Which is more stressful on materials cooling or heating?
Not exactly sure what you mean by "stressful"...Cooling causes an object to contract and heating causes an object to expand. The amount of contraction/expansion depends on the situation.
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.
Does earth's rotation cause land breezes or sea breezes?
Earth's rotation does not directly cause land breezes or sea breezes. Land breezes and sea breezes are caused by temperature differences between land and sea surfaces, which create differences in air pressure. During the day, land heats up faster than water, creating lower pressure over the land and higher pressure over the sea, leading to a sea breeze. At night, the land cools faster than water, creating higher pressure over the land and lower pressure over the sea, leading to a land breeze.
How does unequal heating and cooling of the earth's surface cause severe weather events like tornadoes and hurricanes?
Unequal heating and cooling of the Earth's surface creates temperature and pressure differences that lead to the formation of weather systems. These differences in temperature and pressure can result in the development of severe weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Tornadoes form in areas with intense temperature contrasts, while hurricanes form over warm ocean waters where there is a large temperature difference between the air and water.
How does uneven heating of earth's cause winds to flow?
the uneven heating of earth's surface causes pressure differences which set air in motion
The sudden heating and cooling of air causes what?
The sudden heating and cooling of air can cause instability in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of severe weather events such as thunderstorms, strong winds, and tornadoes. This rapid temperature change can create contrasting air masses and trigger violent weather conditions.
What causes sea breeze and land breezes?
The sun
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
Sea breezes during the day and land breezes during the night?
'land breeze's' are cool breezes at night caused by differences in heating and cooling rates of land and water
