The movement revolves around the Low Pressure System. At the center of a Low, air rises. That air descends in High Pressure Systems, that exist wherever Lows do not. This means that the Low Pressure System is the active feature of the [lower 10 km's of the] Atmosphere.

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 are continental deflections?
When a continent deflects the movement of a current.
What results from differences in air pressure?
the difference in air pressure creates unequal heating of the earth.
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 this winds to move in sideward way?
this air causes to move that way because the earth rotation is side ward so the winds are on side ward movement too.
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 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 air motion causes cloud formation and causes the winds to converge into cyclones?
Winds
Movement of air classified according to where it forms?
The movement of air is classified according to where it forms. This helps in the classification of the strong winds and the mild winds.
How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the right. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the left. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin clockwise.
What region is characterized by little air movement by rising air?
trade winds
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
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.
How does the sun influence winds on Earth?
The energy from the Sun does not influence the global winds, it causes them. Without the Sun's energy, there would be no atmospheric movement - your question implies something else causes the global winds and the Sun modifies these. This is not the case.
What large circular pattern of air movement called?
i think these are winds
Large circular patternes of air movement are called?
i think these are winds
