What causes air movement?
Air movement is caused by uneven heating of Earth's surface
What does the uneven heating of the air cause it to do?
The primary effect of heating a gas is lowering the density of the gas, making it lighter. Uneven heating of gas creates local density gradients, which will drive bulk movement of the gas via natural convection to get rid of the local density gradients.
Theory that says uneven heating different densities and cycling of materials caused by the place movement are what?
convection
What is caused by the uneven heating on earth and the atmosphere?
axis
The main cause of global convection currents is?
uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates temperature and density variations in the air and water. These variations drive the movement of air and water around the globe in convection currents.
What caused hurricane Andrew to occur?
The uneven heating of the earth's tempature.
How does uneven heating cause differences in density?
Uneven heating causes differences in density because warmer air or water is less dense than cooler air or water. When a substance is heated, its molecules move faster and spread out, causing that area to become less dense compared to cooler areas. This difference in density leads to the movement of substances to create a more uniform distribution of heat.
What is the link between the uneven heating of Earths surface and air movement?
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.
Is wind a Compound?
No. Wind is the movement of air. Air is a mixture.
Local winds can be caused by heating of the Earth's surface?
Yes, local winds are caused by the unequal heating of Earth's surface, which creates variations in air pressure and temperature. This temperature difference leads to the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, generating local wind patterns.
Water waves are caused by the which which directly caused by the what of the sun?
Water waves are caused by the wind, which is directly caused by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the sun.
