Unequal heating within a small area cause what kinds of winds?
A backdrift
Definition of local wind?
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.
What are local winds?
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.
What cause locals winds?
Type your answer here... local winds can be caused by whether fronts moving into the air and any local thing creating temperture difference
What are winds that travel short distances?
Local Winds blow over short distances.They are caused by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface within a small area.
How are local and global winds different?
local winds-are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area. global winds-are winds that blow around the earth from the north pole to the south pole.
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.
What is the difference between winds and local winds?
The combination of convection cells found at every 30 degrees of latitude and the Coriolis effect produces patterns of air circulation called global winds. Local winds blow from any direction and move short distances. Local winds are caused by unequal heating within a small area.
How do you find the area of an unequal quadrangle?

Which process produces rising air due to unequal heating of earths surface?
Frontal wedging
Which force causes atmospheric pressure?
Just as water pressure is caused by the weight of water, atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air. Pg. 126 Conceptual Physical Science 4th Edition.
What process produces rising air due to unequal heating of earth's surface?
The process is called convection. The Earth's surface gets heated by the sun through a process called radiation. O.K. differences in air pressure are generally caused by the unequal heating of the earth. The equator recieves more direct solar energy than other latitudes, so air at the equator is warmer and less dense that the surrounding air. Warm , less dense air rises and creates an area of low pressure.
