What else can I help you with?
What are horizontal movement of air?
What is Horizontal movement of air resulting from local changes in temperature
What is the movement of air due to uneven heating called?
The answer is convection currents: the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air.
What results from differences in air pressure?
the difference in air pressure creates unequal heating of the earth.
What are continental deflections?
When a continent deflects the movement of a current.
What cause sea breezes?
During the day, the land heats up-faster than the sea. Cooler sea air moves towards the land. This is called a sea breeze.
What causes winds to appear on earth's surface?
The difference in temperature in air causes movement as warm air rises and cold air sinks. The Earth's rotation also has a small affect.
What effect does the heating of the earth have on air and water movement?
it moves a lot!
What causes high speed winds and storms?
Winds are simply the movement of air. A large difference in pressure over a given area causes a large amount of air to be moved. The larger the pressure difference, the stronger the winds. When warm air (usually from a high pressure system) collides with cold air (usually a low pressure system) storms are sometimes created.
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The ultimate source of heat energy that causes winds is the Sun. The Sun heats up the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to variations in air pressure. These pressure differences then drive the movement of air, creating winds.
Movement of air classified according to where it forms?
Air movement can be classified as either local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, which are influenced by local geographic factors; or global winds, such as trade winds and westerlies, which are driven by the Earth's rotation and the unequal heating of the planet's surface.
Which is the primary cause of winds?
The primary cause of winds is the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This causes differences in air pressure, which then leads to the movement of air from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating wind.
What causes coastal winds on a hot day?
Coastal winds on a hot day are usually caused by the cooling effect of the sea or ocean. During the day, land heats up faster than water, creating a difference in temperature that leads to air movement towards the coast. This movement of air from the cooler body of water to the warmer land creates coastal winds.
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
What region is characterized by little air movement by rising air?
trade winds
What causes this winds to move in sideward way?
Sideward wind movement is often caused by the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the pressure gradient between high and low pressure systems can also influence the direction and speed of wind movement.
What are causes wind?
Local winds: Heating of land/ocean, causing rising and falling air. Global winds: The Coriolis effect: Rotation of the Earth causes movement of air.Also jetstreams in the Stratosphere create wind. Pretty sure those are from the Coriolis effect though.
Large circular patternes of air movement are called?
i think these are winds
