Which earth sphere causes the movement of soils by wind?

The lithosphere is responsible for the movement of soils by wind as it includes the Earth's land surface where soils can be transported by wind erosion.


Which spheres of the earth system interact to form a surface current?

The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.


What causes the wind to move in the bands of the earth?

The wind patterns in the Earth's bands are primarily caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This creates pressure differences that drive the movement of air masses. The rotation of the Earth also plays a role in shaping these wind patterns through the Coriolis effect.


What causes wind to follow a curved path over earth's surface?

The Coriolis force, a result of the earth's rotation, causes wind to follow a curved path over the earth's surface. As air moves across the rotating earth, its direction is deflected, causing winds to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the curved paths of winds commonly observed on the earth's surface.


Wind water and ice are causes of?

Wind, water, and ice are causes of weathering and erosion on Earth's surface. Wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, water erosion occurs when flowing water wears away rocks and soil, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers and ice sheets move and shape the landscape.

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.

Which earth sphere causes the movement of soils by wind?

Would there be wind without the sun?

There wouldn't be wind without the sun because of how the sun heats the Earth unevenly.Uneven heating of Earth causes wind.Without sun, there's no uneven heating, and without uneven heating there's no wind. No, there is no wind because the sun heats the air which cause high and low pressure systems which results in wind.


What causes all the extra heat in the earth's atmosphere?

What are causes of the ocean currents?

The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy


Why do people ues wind turdines?

Well this happens because of the earth and how it precipitates., when earth evaporats the water rises and causes turbines to make cacki wind storms.
