How is wind direction related to differences in air pressure

Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 323 People

What is the relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speeds? The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the winds. When a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves slowly from high to low pressure. When a high- and a low-pressure air mass are close together, air moves slowly from high to low pressure. When a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves quickly from high to low pressure.

*If you have these questions on your Quiz then here are the answers*

Q: How is humidity related to air pressure?

A: Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.

*Feedback*

Water molecules weigh less than oxygen and nitrogen molecules, so water vapor makes air lighter.

Q: High-and-low pressure areas leading to air movement happen when there are differences in which factor?

A: density

*Feedback*

when air is thicker, there is more pressure.

Q: In general, in which direction does wind blow?

A: horizontally

*Feedback*

Think about how wind comes at you. you have to go with it or against it.

Q: what is the relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speeds?

A: when a high-and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves slowly from high to low pressure.

*Feedback*

the steeper the air pressure gradient, the faster the winds.

Q: The curved movement of air or water is the result of which of these?

A: the rotation of Earth on its axis.

*Feedback*

The Coriolis effect would be different if the length of a day was something other than 24 hours.


Hope this helps ^.^ !!!!
