Which form of radiation given off by the earth causes heating of the earth's atmosphere?
Infared
What are the two factors cause wind?
unequal heating and cooling cause wind but when large parts of earth get uneven heating, it causes prevailing winds. I'm sorry that I can't find a second one. Suspicious.
What causes mantle dynamics?
The mantle is the Earth's crust. Mantle dynamics are caused by the heating and cooling of this layer of crust. This heating and cooling causes a slow creeping motion in the Earth's rocky mantle.
What causes differences in air temperature?
What mainly causes temperature differences is the spherical nature of the Earth, which causes unequal heating.
The unequal heating of Earth's surface?
air which causes wind
What causes the most differences in air pressure?
differential heating
What cause global wind pattern?
se
What causes uneven heating of the earth?
The earth's tilt causes an uneven heating of the earth. The uneven heating due to the tilt causes the different seasons throughout the year.
What causes the unevening of the Earth?
The earth's tilt causes an uneven heating of the earth. The uneven heating due to the tilt causes the different seasons throughout the year.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
What causes weather on Earth?
the uneven heating of the earth
How is movement in wind produced?
Short answer: Differential heating of the atmosphere by the Sun causes air masses to move.
What causes the wind belts of the earth?
the unequal heating of the earth's surface and the rotation of the earth
What does differential heating cause?
Differential heating causes wind because the air over one surface being warmer than the air over another results in different air pressures. Wind is caused by air moving from a high pressure system to a low pressure system. This requires differences in air pressure, which is caused by differential heating.
Can uneven heating of air in earth's atmosphere cause convection to occur?
yes
How does differential heating affect pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.
Which form of radiation given off by the earth causes heating of the earth's atmosphere?
