What can cause the heat index to lower?
wind
What does uneven heat from sun cause to the earth?
(Wind)
What can cause a sand dune to slowly move into the direction of the wind?
A sand dune will always move with the prevailing wind (downwind). It would not be able to move into the direction of the prevailing wind (upwind).
What can cause a sand dune to move in the direction of the wind?
the earth
How the wind cause soil erosion?
wind can move and carry away the tiny particles of soil, which carries
How dose wind cause weathering?
It can move away rock, etc.
What cause wind patterns on the earth's surface?
Coriolis effect and difference in heat
What makes the wind and geothermal energy?
Heat from the sun is the original cause of the wind, helped by the rotation of the earth. Energy from geothermal comes from the heat under the surface of the earth.
What movement of earth cause the trees shadow to move during the day?
wind
Is it true global winds move heat from the equator toward the poles?
No. Heat does move with the wind, but the wind is not mostly towards the poles, as this map demonstrates. The winds going towards the equator all bend to the West because of the Coriolis effect.
What causes sediment that is picked up by the wind to fall to the ground?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
What does wind energy do?
Wind energy spins turbines producing electricity.
