What causes air to move
  • rotation of the earth
  • pressure differential
  • density changes
  • terrain
  • etc.
What is wind that blows most frequently across a wind belt

prevailing wind

What are the two categories of seismic waves

The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

How do hailstones remain suspended in a cloud

by the force of strong upward air currents

Which type of weathering causes the peeling of large curved sheets from a rock

EXFOLIATION

What type of rock forms when material from dead plants and animals is deposited and hardens into rock

organic sedimentary

What kind of rock forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock

Metamorphic

What causes the global winds to separate into three bands

pressure gradient

For A+ The earth's rotation

clockwise

Which of these is the decaying organic substance that makes topsoil nutrient rich and is essential for plant growth

Humus A+

Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface

The Coriolis effect is when global winds appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the earth's surface.

By looking at a weather map how could you identify an area that is receiving strong winds

by regions where the isobars are close together:D ...A+

The weather map shows many pressure gradients close together What things should you take to be prepared for the day's weather

Tightly-packed isobars portend strong winds
