Why are upper winds stronger than surface wind?
Surface winds are slowed by friction caused by topography as well as the built environment.
The energy that creates surface ocean currents comes from prevailing winds?
True
In the doldrums where surface winds from two hemispheres meet there is?
hot, humid air with little or no wind
What are five factors that affect the type of soil in a particular area?
- Oceans - Latitude - Altitude - Topography - Earths Winds
Does the weather move west to east all over the world?
"Weather" designates atmospheric conditions in a given geographic area for a given period. Hence, weather cannot be said to move at al. The above answer is quie true. However, earth surface winds in the northern hempishere that create local weather do generally tend to move west to east, opposite of the Earths rotation.
What is a primary cause for surface winds on earth?
A primary cause for surface winds on the earth is the Earths Rotation.
What are winds a result of?
high winds are normally caused by the unequal heating of the earths surface.
In what ways do surface winds differ from upper air winds and how do these differences impact weather patterns?
Surface winds and upper air winds differ in their speed, direction, and altitude. Surface winds are influenced by friction with the Earth's surface and tend to be slower and more variable in direction. Upper air winds, on the other hand, are faster, more consistent in direction, and are influenced by factors such as temperature gradients and pressure systems. These differences in wind patterns impact weather by affecting the movement of air masses, the formation of weather systems, and the distribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
What are quick moving winds that flow high above earths surface?
seasons
What causes winds to appear to turn on the earths surface?
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
Which is a calm area on Earths surface where warm air rises?
The equator is a calm area on Earth's surface where warm air rises due to the intense solar radiation it receives. This warm air creates low pressure and leads to the formation of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a region of converging winds and often thunderstorms.
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earths surface?
Coriolis effect
Would there be winds if earths surface was the same temperature everywhere?
No, there would not be winds if the earth's surface was the same temperature everywhere. The reason why is because during the day the land heats up faster than the water.
What is the bands of high speed winds about 10 kilometers above earths surface?
The answer is jet stream, answered by a sixth grader
What type of wind is when high speed winds are between 7 km and 16 km above earths surface?
The Jet Stream.
What are local winds?
Local winds are winds that are influenced by local geographical features such as mountains, valleys, or bodies of water. They are usually short-lived and can vary in speed and direction, depending on the specific local conditions. Examples of local winds include sea breezes, valley breezes, and mountain winds.
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.
