What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
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
Is there more pressure in the Sahara desert or at the top of Mount Everest?
There is more atmospheric pressure in the Sahara Desert. The number of air molecules around us decrease as we go higher into the atmosphere, which also causes the air pressure to decrease. Since the Sahara Desert is closer to sea level than Mount Everest is, there are more air molecules and more pressure there.
Whats are three things that can set air in motion?
Differences in moisture, temperature, and pressure cause air to move from one location to another. Upper level winds can also influence air movement closer to the ground.
Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
How is wind energy caused?
Solar energy causes temperature differences on our planet that results in different air pressures and hence causes wind from high pressure areas to low pressure ones.
What causes differences in the air pressure around the earth?
Twinkies
What causes air to move?
Air moves due to differences in air pressure. When air pressure is higher in one area and lower in another, it creates a pressure gradient force that causes air to flow from high pressure to low pressure, resulting in wind. Other factors like temperature variations and the Earth's rotation also contribute to the movement of air.
What causes air pressure differences?
Unequal heating of the Earth - this causes Winds; because the air pressure has to where it can [is allowed to] go and that is why their are differences in air pressure. Low pressure systems are the active features of the Atmosphere - because High pressure systems occur wherever Lows do not.
What causes unequal pressure?
Unequal pressure can be caused by differences in temperature, altitude, and physical barriers such as walls or structures that block air flow. These differences create variations in air density, resulting in variations in air pressure.
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What is the main factor that causes wind to occur, as it is driven by differences in what?
Wind is primarily caused by differences in air pressure. When there is a variation in air pressure between two areas, wind is generated as air moves from high pressure to low pressure to equalize the pressure difference.
What is the cause of differences in air pressure?
Causes air to move from poles toward the equator
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
What causes differences in air pressure?
the uneven heating
Is the movement of air primarly a result of pressure differences from the atmosphere?
Yes. The movement of air is the result of pressure differences in the atmosphere. The day/night cycle causes differences in the temperatures further creating the pressure differences in the atmosphere ... PRIMARILY.
How do differences in air pressure help smoke to rise up a chimney?
Differences in air pressure create a pressure gradient that causes air to move from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. When the air inside the chimney is heated by the fire, it becomes less dense and rises. This creates a lower pressure inside the chimney relative to the outside air, which causes the smoke to be drawn up and out of the chimney.
