What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
Why does a hurricane get calmer over land?
Friction with the land helps to lower the wind speed.
How does wind affect speed in still air?
Still air means that there is no wind, therefore, no wind-speed.
What is used to express wind speed?
You can express or determine the speed of wind using the Beaufort Wind Scale.
What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
What does the ocean have to do with wind and speed of wind?
The oceans warm the air above them at a different rate to that over land. This creates a temperature 'difference' - which causes cooler, more dense air to flow into lower density areas. This is what we feel as wind.
Were did wind come from?
The wind comes from the higher pressured area in the atmosphere to the lower pressured areas.
What way is wind always moving?
From higher to lower pressure areas.
Does high pressure areas have strong wind speed?
No. Wind in high pressure systems are usually gentle.
What makes kites go higger and lower?
The wind speed. The angle of attack of the kite to the wind. The weight of the kite.
What is the connections between air pressure and wind?
The relationship between air pressure and windis that air from areas of higher pressure flow to areas of lower pressure, creating wind.
Why does a hurricane get calmer over land?
Friction with the land helps to lower the wind speed.
Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
When air starts to move from areas of high pressure towards area of lower pressure is called?
"wind"
How are current and wind alike?
Current arises when "compressed" charges (high potential) expand into lower "pressure" areas (low potential). Wind is much the same.
