How does the Earths surface influence the flow of the air above it?

The surface slows down air movement through friction. On a larger scale, this will also reduce the Coriolis Force applied to the movement of the air.

Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
Running water above earth surface?
surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow)
What are small channels called when are cut into earths surface when sheets of water flow around obstacles and become deeper?
it is rills
How does climate influence the surface water flow in northern hemisphere?
water has an huge influence in the northern hemisphere because it absorbs the sunlight and it takes much more time to cool and the coastal areas are affected by it and also coastal areas are always warm or wet.. Natasha Wilberding, 12, Alaska..
What is the natural opening where water can return to the surface?
A spring is where water can flow naturally onto the surface.
What are quick moving winds that flow high above earths surface?
seasons
What is an opening in earths surface from which lava may flow?
volcanoes
What can erupt to bring a lava flow to earths surface?
magma
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Gyres
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
If a lava flow at earths surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely be?
A Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock.
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
What is the melted rock which flows out of the earths surface is called?
Magma, or pyroclastic flow.
Running water above earth surface?
surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow)
Does molted rock flow on earths surface?
It can if there is a volcanic eruption I believe u also mean molten rock :)
