Because the more air pressure there is, it moves the winds in all directions because the air pressure goes in all different directions. That is why we are not flat right now. Think about it - "air pressure"
means air is exerting pressure. If there are differences, air in one area is exerting more pressure than air someplace nearby. So the air with the greater air pressure pushes into the air that is not pressing as hard. Simplest way I can think to say it.
What else can I help you with?
Are winds caused by differences in air pressure?
Yes, winds are caused by differences in air pressure. Air flows from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, creating wind. The greater the difference in pressure, the stronger the winds will be.
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 is rapidly moving air caused by differences in pressure?
Winds are rapidly moving air caused by differences in air pressure. Air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas in an attempt to equalize the pressure, resulting in the development of wind systems.
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.
What are winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
What kind of currents cause wind?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure not currents. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure.
Differences in air pressure creates?
Winds.
Are winds caused by similarities in air pressure?
If you mean "identical" air pressures, no. Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, so you need to understand what you mean by "similar". If you reckond 1050 hPa is "similar " to 1010 hPa (which will produce strong winds if the distance between them is only tens of miles), the answer is yes. If you think 1050 hPa is similar to 1048 hPa, you'll only get a very light breeze.
Winds are caused by?
Winds are primarily caused by the uneven heating of Earth's atmosphere by the sun. This differential heating leads to variations in air pressure, which in turn creates areas of high and low pressure. Wind then moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in order to equalize the pressure differences.
