Electromagnetic waves from the sun heat the ground in a certain area, say, a parking lot. The hot parking lot transfers some of its heat to the air above it. Eventually, a "bubble" of warmer air is created and, since heat rises, it begins to ascend. When this happens, the cold air around the "bubble" of hot air rushes in to fill the space left by it. The rushing air is wind. (at least, that's what my 5th-grade textbook said)

What is the heat transfer mechanism responsible for the daily wind cycle?
heat transfer through convection.
What kind of heat transfer causes earths major heat patterns?
Our planet is warmed by conduction (heat from the mantle below), convection (tropical heat is transferred to the poles by wind and currents) and radiation (primarily the warmth of the sun, though there's also radioactive decay occurring in our planet's core).
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
This type of power allows a sailboat to sail?
The power allows a sailboat to sail in the wind however, it can be expanded to include tidal action as well.
Energy is taken in causing the temprture to go down?
A reaction characterized by or causing the absorption of heat is called an endothermic or endoergic reaction.
What type of heat transfer makes the wind blow?
Convection.
What is the heat transfer mechanism responsible for the daily wind cycle?
heat transfer through convection.
How do heat transfer?
through wind and circulating air.
Which type of heat transfer helps create wind?
Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes air to move in response to differences in temperature and pressure. This process involves convection, where warm air rises and cooler air sinks, creating atmospheric circulation patterns that result in wind movement.
What kind of heat transfer causes earths major wind patterns?
convection causes the heat transfer.
What method of heat transfer occurs when the wind blows?
convection
How does heat transfer and the water cycle together to create weather?
Heat transfer determines weather. The wind blows around to settle weather.
what best describes what causes wind?
Condution of heat
What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
What causes wind storms?
when heat and cooled air mix together it may start a wind strom
How do the three types of heat transfer affect wind?
i dont know but juan is a idiot
Is wind caused by the transfer of conduction?
No, wind is mainly caused by the movement of air in response to differences in air pressure. Conduction is the transfer of heat through solids or between objects in direct contact, not a direct cause of wind.
