If there is no atmosphere on Mars how can there be winds?
There IS atmosphere on Mars. It's quite thin compared to Earth's, but it's substantial enough for winds to occur.
What are the winds high in the atmosphere'?
The jet stream.
Does the sun influence the formation of winds on the earth's surface?
To the extent that the sun warms the atmosphere, and varying temperatures within the atmosphere are the basis of winds, yes.
Which planets atmosphere has very strong winds?
Jupiter
What is the cause of winds on Mars?
because it has a dense atmosphere:)
Can you give examples of how the atmosphere moves heat energy around?
The heat energy is moved around by the suttle atmosphere winds
How do differences in atmosphere pressure create winds?
As dense, cool air moves into a low-pressure region , the less dense, warmer air is pushed upward. These pressure differences, which are the result of the unequal heating that causes convection, create winds.
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What effect does the rapid spin of Uranus have on its winds?
It causes massive, violent storms to form in the atmosphere.
How can you use wind power?
wind power is caused by the sun and heats the atmosphere, this causes normal winds.
How is the jet stream related to the wind direction on the ground?
When the jet stream moves south, it moves its associated weather front, which causes winds from the north.
What causes the movement of a tornado?
A tornado moves with its parent thunderstorm. The storm itself is carried by the winds in the environment it forms in.
What is the meaning of the word 'storm'?
Any disturbance in the atmosphere that causes winds that differ from the prevailing winds, unusual pressure and/or temperature changes, and possibly some form of preciptiation
Winds are produced when there is a different in what?
Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.
What do you call winds that moves from north to west?
Northwest winds
How do winds moves soil from one place to another?
transported soil moves because of really strong winds
How is most energy transferred through the ocean?
Through currents and winds that propel energy
