Temperature gradients

∙ 16y ago
Air flow is initiated when there is a difference in air pressure between two points. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure to equalize the pressure. This can be caused by various factors such as temperature gradients, fans, wind, or the movement of objects through the air.

Explain How the flow aloft aids the formation of cyclones at the surface?
The flow aloft, specifically the jet stream, provides the necessary dynamics for cyclone development by creating divergence at the surface. Divergence aloft allows air to rise at the surface, which, combined with the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), initiates cyclonic circulation. This results in the development of a low-pressure system and the formation of a cyclone.
What causes the counterclockwise flow of the air in the afternoon?
The flow of air is caused by coastal winds. The hot air rises, and colder air blows in to take its place. (land breeze)
What is air considered to be because it can take the shape of its container and it can flow?
Air is considered to be a fluid because it can flow and conform to the shape of its container, similar to liquids. This property is a characteristic of fluids, which include both gases and liquids.
Air flow meter what does it do?
An air flow meter measures the amount of air entering an engine to help determine the appropriate fuel-to-air ratio for combustion. This helps optimize engine performance and fuel efficiency by ensuring the correct amount of fuel is injected based on the amount of air being drawn into the engine.
What makes the rapid flow of charge through the air between the two oppositely charged clouds?
The rapid flow of charge through the air between two oppositely charged clouds is due to the build-up of electrical potential difference between them. When the potential difference becomes strong enough, it overcomes the resistance of the air and creates a conductive path for the charge to flow as lightning.
Which OSI model layer initiates the flow of information?
Application Layer
What is an air flow?
An air flow is any flow of air, particularly the motion of air around a moving aircraft or aerofoil.
Why is no obstruction important for air flow techniques?
The laminar flow hood depends on the laminar air flow to sweep away pathogens from the hood. If there is obstruction, the laminar air flow pattern will be disrupted. The laminar air flow will then change to turbulent air flow.
Difference between laminar air flow and reverse laminar aire flow?
difference between laminar air flow & reverse laminar air flow
What affects a pneumatic grinder speed air flow or air pressure?
Air flow
How do you change mass air flow sensor on 2005 Chrysler pacifica?

Where is the mass air flow sensor located on a 2002 jeep liberty?
It does not use a mass air flow sensor.It does not use a mass air flow sensor.
What is the difference between a mass air flow sensor and mass air flow meter?
the mass air flow sensor detects the flowing of mass air into the engine while the mass air flow meter detects the amount of mass air flowing into the ingine.
What is an upward flow of air?
An upward flow of (warm) air is known as a Thermal .
What is an airstream?
An aistream is a flow of air, or the flow of air around a specific object.
Where is maf sensor located on a 1999 Durango?
