Yes. Air rising in one place due to convection will cause air to move inwards from the surrounding air to replace it. Fundamentally though, wind is caused by a difference in air pressure from one place to another.

What kind of heat transfer does wind represent?

Wind represents both forced convection and natural convection heat transfer. Forced convection is when the movement of a fluid is driven by an external force (such as wind blowing over a surface), while natural convection is when heat is transferred through a fluid due to density differences caused by temperature variations.


Why you get wind using the concept of convection?

Wind is caused by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Convection plays a role in this process by creating temperature differences in the atmosphere, which in turn creates pressure differences. As the air tries to equalize these pressure differences, it generates wind as it moves from high to low pressure areas.


Is it true that the increased cooling that a wind can cause is called the Coriolis effect?

No, the increased cooling caused by wind is not due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon that describes the apparent deflection of moving objects caused by the Earth's rotation. The cooling effect of wind is mainly due to the process of convection and the transfer of heat away from a surface.


What does free and forced convection mean?

Forced convection is when air ascends as a result of another force, such as the actions of fronts, orographic lifting, or converging wind. Free convection is caused by a factor such as intense heating of the Earth's surface, which warms air and causes it to rise.

What is the fuel source of wind?

The wind is caused by a combination of the Earth's rotation and the heat of the sun causing convection currents in the atmosphere.

What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?

Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.


An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?

Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.

This is an example of cloud movement caused by wind. Wind carries the clouds along, causing them to move across the sky.


What is the flow of air in a loop caused by differences in temperature and pressure called?

This flow of air is called convection, where warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, creating a continuous loop of circulation. This process occurs due to the difference in density caused by variations in temperature and pressure.


Is the wind power source renewable?

Yes, wind power is renewable. Because the wind can never "run out" (and is a product of the Coriolis Effect, caused by the rotation of the earth and heat convection in the atmosphere, both natural phenomenon). - Oscar


Does conduction make wind?

No. wind is primarily a result of convection.


Is wind considered a convection current?

yes. because the air move due to pressure and convection. the movement of air is wind.
