What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What type of energy causes all winds and breezes?
Air pressure is the type of energy that causes all winds and breezes. When horizontal differences in parcels of air occur, it generates wind. The flow of the air travels from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.
Do energy from the moon causes winds and ocean currents?
The energy from the moon primarily causes the ocean tides through gravitational forces, rather than winds and ocean currents. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates differences in air pressure that lead to the movement of air. Ocean currents are mainly driven by a combination of wind, temperature, salinity, and the shape of the ocean basins.
The large winds that circle the Earth occur because the equator does what?
The large winds that circle the Earth, known as the trade winds, occur because the equator receives more solar energy than the poles. This temperature difference causes air to rise at the equator and sink at the poles, creating a circulation pattern that we observe as the trade winds.
What causes the 5 elements of thunderstorms starting with lightning?
hummidity winds, thunder, lightning, winds
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds we feel?
The Sun!
What is the energy source for winds on earth?
The sun and uneven heating of the earth's surface causes all the weather.
What is the source of energy that drives the earths winds?
The source of energy that drives Earth's winds is primarily the sun. Differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun causes variations in temperature and pressure, leading to the movement of air masses and the generation of wind patterns.
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What is the ultimate source of earth winds?
differences in the amount of heat received at different regions of the Earth
The ultimate source of energy is the what?
solar radiation The sun heats the surface of the Earth unevenly. The warm air expands, becomes less dense and rises. Cold air condenses and sinks. The cold air moves across the surface of the Earth to take the place of the rising warm air. This is wind.
What source of energy causes winds to blow around the Earth?
Uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun causes differences in air pressure, which in turn sets air in motion creating winds. Rotation of the Earth also plays a role in the formation of global wind patterns.
What is the relationship between solar energy and global winds'?
The relationship between the two is their energy source which is the sun.
What are the causes of solar flares?
A: Massive explosions on the sun surface that releases tremendous energy called solar winds that causes disruption of communication while the winds lasts
What provides the energy needed to create winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans?
The primary source of energy that drives winds in the atmosphere and currents in the oceans is the sun. Solar energy heats the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature and pressure differences that lead to the movement of air and water. The rotation of the Earth also plays a role in shaping the patterns of winds and currents.
Ever lasting source of energy is?
The solar energy and warmth from our Sun, the energy created by our winds and tides.
