Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force.
The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.
What else can I help you with?
Which way do surface wind blow along a low pressure system?
Surface winds blow counterclockwise around a low pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise around a low pressure system in the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis force, which causes the deflection of wind direction as a result of Earth's rotation.
What is the predicate in this sentenceThe wind began to blow?
The wind began to blow The wind is the subject began to blow is the predicate
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
Is wind another force that causes weathering true or false?
True. Wind is a significant force of weathering that can cause erosion by carrying and depositing particles on Earth's surface. Over time, wind can wear away rocks and other materials, shaping the landscape.
Define the term erosion and name the force that cause it?
Erosion is the process by which materials on the Earth's surface are worn away and transported by natural forces, such as water, wind, or ice. The force that causes erosion varies depending on the environment but commonly includes water (running water in rivers or ocean waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity.
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
What is the source that causes the wind to blow?
What source: Energy From where: Sun
Does the wind make a noise when there is nothing for it to blow through?
yes because the wind has a force of its own
An erosional force that causes abrasion?
wind
What causes mechanical weathering to blow sand against exposed rock?
Wind
Wind as an erosional force is?
wind is an agent of erosion which causes sheet erosion
Mary is biking downhill. she notcies that her shirt and hair begin to pull back on her and blow in the wind that she is creating as she moves faster. This wind is an example of which of the following?
Drag
What effect will steep pressure gradient force have on wind?
it will make strong winds blow. (A+)
When winds blow parallel to isobars what kind of wind is it?
When winds blow parallel to isobars, it is called geostrophic wind. This wind results from the balance of the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force acting on the air. Geostrophic winds are typically found at high altitudes and are commonly seen in the upper atmosphere.
What is the name of the instrument you blow into to produce sound?
The instrument you blow into to produce sound is called a "wind instrument."
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
Which way do surface wind blow along a low pressure system?
Surface winds blow counterclockwise around a low pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise around a low pressure system in the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the Coriolis force, which causes the deflection of wind direction as a result of Earth's rotation.
