Wind

Wind. Weather and Climate Unit. What is wind?. Wind is air in motion. Two factors are necessary to specify wind: speed and direction. What causes the wind to blow?. As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too.

WIND

WIND. Wind is movement of air caused by differences in air pressure. The greater the difference, the faster the wind moves. Air flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure .

Wind. The summer wind, came rolling in, from across the bay. What causes wind?. Uneven heating of the Earth’s surface causes some areas to be warmer than others Warmer air is less dense and moves. Coriolis Effect. The rotation of the Earth causes wind. Like a spinning ball.

Wind Causes of Wind. What causes the wind to blow? As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the climate is colder.

Wind. Wind is created by solar energy. More specifically wind is created by the uneven heating of the Earth. Reasons why the Earth heats unevenly: 1) it’s made of water and land. 1. Hot air rises. 3. Cool air fills void. wind. 2. Void. Water Land. wind. Wwhat happens at night?.

Wind. EQ: What is wind?. Wind is air in motion. It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Since the earth’s surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s radiation unevenly.
