No, wind is the result of a pressure gradient force between areas of high and low pressure. Wind always flows from high to low pressure, but the rotation of the earth creates a coriolis force which turns the wind to the right of expected motion in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The resultant wind is parallel to lines of equal pressure in the upper atmosphere, but friction plays a factor closer to the surface as it slows down the wind speeds, subsequently weakening the coriolos force and turning the wind towards the low pressure in all instances. Therefore, wind will always flow cross-isobarically, that is across isobars (lines of equal pressure) towards lower pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that Winds cannot blow against the force of gravity?
No, it is not true. Winds can blow against the force of gravity. Wind is the movement of air, and it can be influenced by various factors such as atmospheric pressure gradients and temperature differences, rather than solely being driven by gravity.
What are the two forces that act on a flying kite?
no your wrong the force of the wind must be greater than the force of gravity
When wind pushes against a?
When wind pushes against a surface, it can create a force known as wind resistance or drag. This force increases with the wind speed and the surface area of the object being pushed. The shape and orientation of the object can also affect the amount of wind resistance it experiences.
What force can be felt when you put your hand out of a moving car?
One pair of forces is your hand pushing against the wind, and the wind pushing back against your hand.Another pair of forces is gravity from Earth pulling your hand down, and your hand pulling up against Earth; but this doesn't depend on the fact that the car is moving.
What creates a force when a flag moves back and forth?
The force that creates the motion of a flag moving back and forth is typically wind. As the wind blows against the flag, it exerts a force on the fabric, causing it to sway. The force of the wind varies in strength and direction, influencing the movement of the flag.

Does the wind blow down or up?
The wind can blow in any direction.
Does a wind vane measure gravity?
No. The force of gravity is measured in scales.
Does the wind make a noise when there is nothing for it to blow through?
yes because the wind has a force of its own
How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
Does gravity or wind quickly pulls rocks and dirt downhill in a landslide?
Gravity is the primary force that causes rocks and dirt to move downhill in a landslide. Wind can contribute to the movement of loose material, but gravity is the dominant force in causing landslides.
What is the name of the force that causes wind to blow?
Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force. The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.
What can change Earth's surface as a result of the force of gravity is it wind ice landslides or plant root?
Gravity is the driving force behind:- wind (convection currents can only happen in a gravity field) ice (Ice moves and erodes under the pull of the force of gravity) Landslides (here the motive power is the pull of gravity)
What force causes erosion?
Wind, rain, fire, gravity , glacier retraction, waves. Moving water, ice, wind and gravity are the agents of erosion.
What forces are there on a car?
gravity, friction, driving force and wind resistance..
What causes mechanical weathering to blow sand against exposed rock?
Wind
