As different areas of the atmosphere heat up at different rates due to factors such as light intensity and humidity etc., heat rise and cold air rushes in to take its place.

Wind is created by what type of currents in the Earth's atmosphere?

Air currents.


Is the Aurora created by the thermosphere?

No. it is created by the Earth's magnetic field, and particles trapped in it from the Solar wind.


How is wind made for kids?

Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. When air is warmed, it rises and cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. This constant movement of air around the Earth is what we feel as wind.


How is the wind energy gathered and or created?

Wind energy is gathered by using wind turbines, which have blades that rotate and capture the kinetic energy of the wind. The spinning blades turn a shaft, which connects to a generator to produce electricity. Wind energy is created by the movement of air masses on Earth's surface, generated by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun.


How is wind created and what factors contribute to its formation?

Wind is created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Factors that contribute to the formation of wind include the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, the rotation of the Earth, and the presence of obstacles like mountains or buildings.


The distinct wind patterns on earth's surface are created by what and by the coriolis effect?

The distinct wind patterns on Earthâ??s surface are created by differences in heating and by the Coriolis effect. Temperature differences on Earthâ??s surface create areas of different pressure and the winds.


Did wind originally come from the sun energy?

Wind is primarily caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As the sun heats different parts of the Earth at different rates, air masses with varying temperatures and densities are created, leading to the movement of air we experience as wind.


What is the wind in earth?

There is no wind inside the earth.


What is the Difference between solar wind and earth wind?

the differenc between solor wind and earth wind is that earth wind comes from the earth its self, and solor wind comes the sun which causes the planets to space out from each other.


The distinct wind patterns on Earth's surface are created by the Cloriolis Affect and what?

who ever answered that question obviously doesnt know what convection is or he is joking around .. my friend the wind patterns are created for cloriolis affect and differences in heat ( smiley face ) lol -_-


The force that generates wind is?

The force that generates wind is primarily the result of pressure differences in the Earth's atmosphere. When air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, wind is created. Other factors such as the Earth's rotation and surface features can also influence wind patterns.


Where is the energy source found in wind?

Wind is created by the sun heating the air causing it to expand and move, and it is caused by the speed the earth rotates under the atmosphere.
