Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.

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 winds in the atmosphere?

Energy from the Sun causes wind.


What causes classifying clouds to vary?

How is taking a shower condensation?

Hot water is spraying out into the atmosphere at high pressure. This causes condensation.


What causes an air parcel to cool as it rises in the atmosphere?

An air parcel cools as it rises in the atmosphere due to a decrease in air pressure. As the parcel moves to higher altitudes, the lower pressure causes it to expand, which leads to a decrease in temperature. This process is known as adiabatic cooling.


How dos wind start?

Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.


What type of energy causes wind?

Wind is caused by the kinetic energy generated from the sun heating the Earth's atmosphere unevenly, which creates differences in air pressure. This pressure difference causes air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind.


What does The wind start up?

The wind starts up when there is a difference in temperature and pressure in the atmosphere. This causes air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating wind.


When air moves from an area of low pressure it causes?

When air moves from an area of low pressure, it causes wind to blow towards the area of higher pressure. This movement of air creates atmospheric circulation patterns that help balance out pressure differences in the atmosphere.
