What causes air movement?
Air movement is caused by uneven heating of Earth's surface
What does the uneven heating of the air cause it to do?
The primary effect of heating a gas is lowering the density of the gas, making it lighter. Uneven heating of gas creates local density gradients, which will drive bulk movement of the gas via natural convection to get rid of the local density gradients.
Theory that says uneven heating different densities and cycling of materials caused by the place movement are what?
convection
Local winds can be caused by heating of the Earth's surface?
uneven heating
What is caused by the uneven heating on earth and the atmosphere?
axis
What caused hurricane Andrew to occur?
The uneven heating of the earth's tempature.
What is the link between the uneven heating of the earth's surface and air movement?
Wind
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
Wind
Caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere?
Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. When an area has warmer air than surrounding areas, the air rises which creates a region of low pressure. The areas around it have higher pressure, and therefore air moves from there to the low pressure area. The movement of this air is called wind.
Where does convection mostly occur?
Convection occurs in any liquid or gas that has variations in density due to uneven heating.
What causes weather to happen on Earth?
Weather is caused by the atmosphere responding to uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. The uneven heating results in temperature differences. These are what are known as cold fronts, warm fronts and other phenomena.
What is large masses of air caused by uneven heating between the equator and the poles called?
Poop poo
