Why is this movement often described as horizontal sliding or science?
because Two plates are moving side by side
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.
A tube contains enclosed air by a thread of mercury of 250 mm long when tube is horizontal the length of air is 250 mm long what is the pressure on the air column when atmospheric pressure is 750 mmhg?
A tube contains enclosed air by a thread of mercury of 250mm long when tube is horizontal the length of air is 250 mm long. The pressure on the air column when atmospheric pressure is 750 mm Hg is 3 Pascal or 3 N / m2.
How does a fart spread around the room?
movement of air and osmosis
What are the forces that affect the horizontal movement of air?
The forces that affect the horizontal movement of air are gravity and air pressure. Wind is caused by the differences in air mass temperature.
What is horizontal movement of air in realtion to the earths surface?
updraught
Horizontal movement of air in relation to earths surface?
Answer:Wind
Horizontal movement of air in relation to the earth's surface?
Answer:Wind
What is the Horizontal movement of air resulting from local changes in temperature?
Err... wind?
Is most of the air movement in the intertropical convergence zone horizontal or vertical?
The ITCZ is where a lot of air rises and precipitates - vertical motion.
In meteorology what is the horizontal movement of mass that warms or chills the air?
That would be something called advection. The air doesn't get warmed or chilled because of the horizontal movement of mass, but rather the temperature of the air changes because warmer or colder air is advected. In the case where warm air is advected, we call that warm air advection and in the case where cold air is advected, we call that cold air advection.
What is the net inward movement of air in a surface low pressure system that causes the air mass to shrink?
The effect is called horizontal convergence.
What is a fault with horizontal movement called?
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
What is the horizontal movement of water?
Current
What areas have winds that are weak?
There the horse latitudes and the Doldrums. The doldrums are at 0 degrees latitude (equator), where the air rises instead of having a horizontal movement (wind). The horse latitudes are at about 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S of the equator. The horse latitudes are areas where the air falls, causing very low horizontal movement, also.
The process by which land sinks with little or no horizontal movement is known as?
Atmospheric transport is the process by which land sinks with little or no horizontal movement.
