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.

∙ 10y agoWind speed is how fast wind goes and atmospheric pressure is the pressure that the atmosphere pushes on us.
----------------------------------------------------
The greater the difference in barometric pressure from a high pressure zone to a low pressure zone, the greater the wind velocity will be.

∙ 13y agoAir pressure is proportional to the square of the wind velocity.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoAir always goes to high pressure to low pressure which creates wind. Get it?
no i dont maybe you should explain it better. yeah expla8n it better
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe wind blows from area's of high pressure to low pressure
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe Atmosphere is force upon us by gravity. When this occurs the air pushes towards the the substances it is headed and the air pushes in every direction. When this happens wind occurs.

How does air pressure affect air movement?
Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.
How do paper planes fly?
Paper airplanes fly because of the velocity and air pressure on either sides of the wings. Air is also pushed to the bottom upward to the plane.
What are 5 renewable energy sources other than solar energy?
The five sources of energy are solar, nuclear, wind, hydroelectric and fossil fuels. Nowadays there are five energy sources: fossil fuels, nuclear, wind, hydroelectric amd solar. The alternative sources are solar, wind and hydroelectric.
Describe at least six items of data that might be recorded in a station model?
1) Temperature2)Dew point3)Wind speed4)Air pressure5)Fog6)Precipitation
How does air temperature and air pressure affect the distance a soccer ball can be kicked?
if it's cold,mit'll be like cold n' all. n if itz Warm, use ur imagination. -omg itz rob
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.
The relationship between air and wind?
both have high and low pressure both have high and low pressure are factors in weather
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 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
What is the relationship between elevation and air pressure?
the sky
What general statement can be made about the relationship between air pressure and altitude?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
The movement of air caused by differences in air pressure?
Wind. or cold to warm lol
Original source for wind?
Wind is caused by a pressure difference between two regions of air. The air from a high pressure zone, caused by a higher local temperature, will move into a low pressure zone. We feel the passage of this air is "wind".
What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and depth?
The deeper you go, the more air is above you ... thus higher air pressure.
What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement?
Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position, not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure, but how great (or small) the physical distance between them. Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind) the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
How air pressure affects the motion of wind?
the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, this movement of the air is called "wind".
Which factor directly affects the wind speed between two locations?
air pressure
