pressure = 0.002558 times velocity squared where velocity is miles per hour and pressure is pounds per square foot

for example a wind of 75 mph produces a pressure of

0.002558x75x75 = 14 .39 pounds per square foot

since there are 144 sq in in one sq ft that is 14.39/144 = 0.1 pounds per square inch

In meteorological terms, differences in pressure are what drive wind. Air generally moves toward an area of low pressure. However, due to the rotation of the earth it gets deflected in large scale weather patterns. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

What is the connections between air pressure and wind?

The relationship between air pressure and windis that air from areas of higher pressure flow to areas of lower pressure, creating wind.


What is the relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speed?

The relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speed is governed by the pressure gradient force. When there is a significant difference in air pressure over a distance, wind is generated as air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the wind speed. Thus, steep pressure gradients typically result in faster winds, while gentle gradients lead to lighter winds.


The relationship between air and wind?

Air is the mixture of gases that make up Earth's atmosphere, while wind is the movement of air caused by differences in temperature and pressure. Wind occurs when air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating the flow of air we experience on Earth.


What is the connection between temperature air pressure and wind?

A low pressure region should mean that the region is low in air. The air from the surrounding region (which is comparatively at higher pressure) moves into this low pressure region creating a wind. So, wind is the movement of air from a high pressure region into a low pressure region. Warm air is lighter than cold air. Warm air being lighter moves upward creating a low pressure region. So, wind could also be a movement of air from cooler to warmer region.


What is the main factor that causes wind to occur, as it is driven by differences in what?

Wind is primarily caused by differences in air pressure. When there is a variation in air pressure between two areas, wind is generated as air moves from high pressure to low pressure to equalize the pressure difference.


What is the relationship between elevation and air pressure?

the sky


What is the relationship between clouds and wind?

When there is air pressure the air would rise to form clouds ..................Maybe its the right answer I just figured it out and if it's right plz guys tell me


Is the relationship between altitude and air pressure direct inverse or is there no relationship?

The relationship between altitude and air pressure is inverse: as altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because air pressure is a measure of the weight of air molecules above a given point, so as you go higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you exerting pressure downward.


What happens when the air pressure is low in one place and high in another?

When there is low air pressure in one place and high air pressure in another, the air moves from the high pressure area to the low pressure area, creating wind. This movement of air helps to equalize the pressure difference between the two areas. This phenomenon is known as wind flow or atmospheric circulation.


When air moves from one place to another is called?

breeze or, wind


What is wind the result of?

Wind is the result of differences in pressure in the atmosphere and flows between air masses. It moves from high-pressure to low-pressure regions, in an attempt to even out all different barometric pressures.


Does air pressure change wind?

Yes, air pressure differences create wind. Wind is the movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure, creating a flow of air. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the wind.
