explain how winds are caused?
Answers
Changes in air pressure, which are mostly driven by temperature differences, create wind. When there is a difference in atmospheric pressure, air travels from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in varying speeds of wind.
Air will be deflected by the Coriolis force on a revolving globe, except near the equator. The differential heating between the equator and the poles (difference in absorption of solar radiation resulting to buoyant forces) and the rotation of the earth are the two fundamental driving causes of large-scale wind patterns (atmospheric circulation) on a global scale.
Large-scale winds tend to approach geostrophic balance outside of the tropics and aloft from frictional impacts of the surface. Friction near the Earth's surface causes the wind to move more slowly than it would otherwise. Winds blow more inward towards low-pressure zones as a result of surface friction.
- The wind is the movement of air. which is caused by the uneven heating of the earth by the sun.
- We cannot see the wind or hold it but we can feel the wind.
- The wind is generated due to the differences in atmospheric pressure.
- The Coriolis effect causes some winds to travel along the edges of the high-pressure and low-pressure systems.
- When the air is flowing from high pressure to low pressure the wind will cause.
