When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
I have a science test this week and was wondering what causes air pressure differences on our planet?
It will remain the same. (:
yes this is true. this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater
that they matter to the breezes and one happens at night and the other happens at day
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.
When two masses that have a difference in air pressure meets they will create a storm front. When the differences in air pressure between the two masses increase the severity of the storm created will intensify.
The movement of air shown is due to differences in air pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to balance out the pressure differences.
Temperature differences is why air moves in the atmosphere. Hot air rises, cold air falls. With these temperature difference comes pressure differences and these temp. and pressure differences are what keep the air moving. Theoretically, if there were no temp. or pressure differences in the atmosphere, air would not move.
Convection currents cause the air to rise when heated. This causes the air pressure to become lower on the surface, which then pulls in air from nearby regions, which is felt as wind.
Air pressure varies because of the differences in air's density.
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure. When air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, wind is generated. The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun is a major factor in creating these pressure differences that lead to wind.

differences in air pressure
wind
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.
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.
