What is the main cause of global wind patterns?
uneven heating probably
What do you call winds that change directions?
The uneven cooling and heating of the Earth by the Sun cause seasonal changes in wind direction. The heating and cooling causes temperature differences that then develop into wind currents.
Is global warming the primary cause of wind?
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
How is wind made for kids?
Wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. When air is warmed, it rises and cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. This constant movement of air around the Earth is what we feel as wind.
How do uneven heating produce wind?
Differences in air temperature - creates air currents, as cold air moves to replace warm air (which rises). The movement of the air is what we feel as wind.
What is the uneven heating result?
wind
Where is the movement of air called?
The movement of air is called wind. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface, leading to variations in air pressure and the subsequent movement of air from high pressure to low pressure areas.
What are results from uneven heating of the earth?
wind
What is produced by uneven heating of Earth's hemisphere?
wind
How long can wind blow for?
Wind is caused primarily by the uneven heating of the earth's surface and atmosphere. There are many many factors which cause uneven heating and wind, which is why weather forecasting is so difficult! Ultimately, the sun provides energy to the earth which causes uneven heating and therefore wind. So to answer your question, wind will occur as long as the sun is shining - which scientists estimate will continue for the next 5 billion years.
What is the main cause of global wind patterns?
uneven heating probably
What do you call winds that change directions?
The uneven cooling and heating of the Earth by the Sun cause seasonal changes in wind direction. The heating and cooling causes temperature differences that then develop into wind currents.
Why is wind energy called solar energy?
Wind energy is indirectly derived from the sun because the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun creates wind patterns. As the sun heats the air at different rates, the air moves, creating wind. Therefore, wind energy is often referred to as a form of solar energy.
What is it called when a mineral breaks along a uneven surfaces?
"Uneven cleavage"
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
Wind
Why does wind energy move?
Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's crust. This causes air to move and therefor generate energy.
What cused by the uneven heating of the earth and its atmosphere?
The most notable effect is the wind it generates.
