If earth didn't rotate what would happen to the global winds?

because earth rotates, the winds don't blow in a straight line. If earth did not rotate they would go from north to south and south to north in a straight line. http://utahscience.oremjr.alpine.k12.ut.us/sciber06/9th/Stand_6/html/6_2d.htm


How can monitoring changes in air pressure predict weather conditions?

Monitoring changes in air pressure can predict weather conditions because high pressure usually indicates fair weather, while low pressure typically brings unsettled weather. By tracking these changes over time and comparing them to known weather patterns, meteorologists can make forecasts about upcoming weather events with reasonable accuracy. Rapid pressure drops or rises can also indicate the approach of a storm system, allowing for timely warnings to be issued.


Why are sound waves known as pressure waves?

Because it is pressure that actually propagates through the medium. When air is the medium, air molecules are displaced outward and then back, in unison with the sound generating object. This 'wave' of pressure, much like a ripple on water, moves through the air outward from the source.


Can a scientist make weather happen?

No, scientists cannot make weather happen. Weather is a complex system influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and moisture in the atmosphere, among others. Scientists can study and predict weather patterns based on these factors, but they cannot control or create weather events.


Change in air pressure make sound?

No, the atmospheric pressure changes much too slowly.

What has to happen to make rain?

Rain is a chemical reaction caused by a fenomonon of diurnal and seasonal patterns in the atmosphere, consisting of temperature differences from high and low pressure systems, shifting cold fronts merging with warm pressure systems and high level atmosphere instability-Air will only hold 100% relative humidity at any given temperature after that the air will begin to saturate and air will fall.


How do instruments make sounds?

its an effect of vibrations caused by air , pressure etc


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.


Does a tornado's low air pressure often make houses explode?

No, houses are more likely to be damaged by the strong winds and flying debris associated with a tornado rather than from the low air pressure. Most houses are not airtight enough for the pressure differences caused by a tornado to make them explode.


What is another word for to make some thing happen?

You could use forced, or caused.


How does it make the hellicopper go up?

In short, a lift force acts on the wing of the aeroplane and that makes the hellicopter to go up. This lift force is caused by the differences in the air pressure between top and bottom surface of the wing. For more information check "howstuffworks.com"


What is caused when there is low tire pressure?

Driving on low tire pressure flexes the tire, causes overheating and can make the tire come off the rim on corners.


What would make the ABS light come on and stay on?

A drop in brake fluid pressure (caused by, say a leak or crack)


Does a tornado's low air pressure make houses explode?

No. The pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough for this to happen. Tornadoes tear houses apart with the power of their wind.


What happen to the first preson on jupietr?

noone even made it to mars, and if somebody did make it, they'd be crushed by the pressure in the atmosphere


What are good uses for a blood pressure chart?

blood pressure is use to determ wether a person (a patient )is having hypertension or not.


Can a drop in oil pressure be caused by catalytic converter being clogged or stopped up?

Well, happy little accidents happen, don't they? A drop in oil pressure is usually not caused by a clogged catalytic converter. It's more likely due to issues with the oil pump, oil level, or a problem with the engine itself. Just remember, we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.
