What else can I help you with?
High pressure areas are created around the poles as cold air?
sinks towards the surface, creating dense air masses. These high-pressure areas are also influenced by the rotation of the Earth, known as the Coriolis effect, which causes air to circulate in a clockwise direction around the poles.
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The layer of air above the Earth's surface is called the atmosphere. It is composed of various gases and extends several kilometers into space.
What type of heat transfer that causes the air to circulate and form such clouds is called .?
The type of heat transfer that causes air to circulate and form clouds is called convection. As air near the surface heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying moisture with it. As the rising air cools, the moisture condenses to form clouds.
How do radiation conduction and convection work together on the earths surface?
Radiation from the sun heats up the Earth's surface, causing the ground to warm up. This warmth is then transferred to the surrounding air through conduction, which is the direct contact of heat between the ground and the air molecules. Convection then takes over as the warmed air rises and cooler air moves in to take its place, creating wind and circulating the heat around the Earth's surface.
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
As the distance from Earth's surface increases, the air pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below. The decrease in air pressure is why it becomes harder to breathe at higher altitudes.
Hoe does air circulate around earths surface?
Heat from the sun
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
What is horizontal movement of air in realtion to the earths surface?
updraught
What planet has low air pressure and is mostly carbon dixide?
Mars has a thin atmosphere, mainly of Carbon Dioxide. Its surface pressure is around 0.7 kPa, around 0.7% of Earths surface pressure.
What is an air vent?
An air vent is an opening, sometimes covered by a grate, which allows air to circulate around a room.
A what is a large body of air that has the same properties as earths surface over which it develops?
air mass
What is a large body of air that has the same properties as the Earths surface over which it develops.?
air mass
What is a large body of air that has the same properties as the earths surface over which it develops?
air mass
Why is high air pressure near earths surface?
Because there is more air (which has weight) above you if you are around sea level. If you fly up, or climb a mountain, there is less air above you, therefore less air pressure.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
Is a large body of air that ha the same properties as earths surface over which it develops?
air mass
