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 happens to air pressure when air humidity increases and temperature stays the same?
It will remain the same. (:
Is it true or false that winds are caused by differences in air pressure?
yes this is true. this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater
What are land breezes and sea breezes an why do they form?
that they matter to the breezes and one happens at night and the other happens at day
Whats are three things that can set air in motion?
Differences in moisture, temperature, and pressure cause air to move from one location to another. Upper level winds can also influence air movement closer to the ground.
What happens when the differences in air pressure between two masses increase?
When two masses that have a difference in air pressure meets they will create a storm front. When the differences in air pressure between the two masses increase the severity of the storm created will intensify.
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?
The differences in air pressure.
Why does air pressure vary?
Air pressure varies because of the differences in air's density.
What causes air to move?
rotation of the earthpressure differentialdensity changesterrainetc.
Why do and breezes occur?
Convection currents cause the air to rise when heated. This causes the air pressure to become lower on the surface, which then pulls in air from nearby regions, which is felt as wind.

What cause the air to move?
differences in air pressure
Is the movement of air primarly a result of pressure differences from the atmosphere?
Yes. The movement of air is the result of pressure differences in the atmosphere. The day/night cycle causes differences in the temperatures further creating the pressure differences in the atmosphere ... PRIMARILY.
What movement of the air caused by differences in air pressure?
wind
What are differences in air pressure called?
Gradients
Differences in air pressure creates?
Winds.
