Mrs Whartons Science Class Wind The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure All winds are caused by differences in air pressure Differences of air pressure are caused by unequal heat . Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. Weather Text Goes Here – Remember to hit the hazards as well as what will happen. 700 pm. Western Valleys & Mountains. In the valleys – Sustained winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph through mid-evening.. Natalia Han. Macee Wiese. The World Is Too Much With Us. The . world is too much with us; late and soon,. Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:. Little we see in Nature that is ours;. Objective. Reconcile the . conflicting evidence of the meridional westerly wind shift during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) indicated . by proxy-records from the . atmosphere . and . ocean. Approach. i. What causes wind? . Caused by a difference in air pressure due to. unequal heating of the atmosphere.. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). One section splits around FL =winds split around FL. Minimum winds & moisture flux in Midwest & Southeast US. Converging winds along Southeast Atlantic coast . =. precipitation. June 85. BH elongates in E-W direction. The movement of air in a horizontal direction. What is wind?. The uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in air pressure.. What causes wind?. The Sun’s energy is more concentrated at the Equator and spread out more over the poles.. i. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). • Cool air rushes into replace the warm air. (cooler dense air, produces high pressure). The movement of air in a horizontal direction. What is wind?. The uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in air pressure.. What causes wind?. The Sun’s energy is more concentrated at the Equator and spread out more over the poles.. Compare & contrast an idealized hurricane life cycle with a real life example from the past. Understand how the angle of approach of a storm impacts regional damage. Objectives. Hurricane Structure. Category 5? typical gusts over open flat land of more than 280km/h. These winds correspond to the highest category on the Beaufort Scale. Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction. One of the Wind is the movement . of air caused by an uneven heating of the Earth’s . surface.. What HEATS EARTH’S SURFACE?. Heat from the sun heats the surface of the Earth.. This heat arrives to Earth in the form of radiation.. Local winds are caused by the movement of air between low-pressure and high-pressure systems within small areas. As there are so many different types of winds, each one takes on a unique form. Local winds frequently have a significant impact on climate in local regions, so it is critical to understand what causes them.. Lucrezia Ricciardulli, Thomas Meissner, Frank Wentz.
