15 cards·by Kati
The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves.
Radiation
The winds that blows steadily from specific directions over long distances
Global winds
The way earths rotation makes winds curve
Coriolis effect
The movement of air parallel to earths surface
Wind
A device used to measure the speed of wind.vIt has three or four cups mounted at the ends of
spokes that spin on an axle.
Anemometer
The increased cooling that a wind can cause.
Windchill factor
Winds that blow over short distances. They are weaker winds.
Local winds
It blows from an ocean or lake and can be known as a lake breeze
Sea breeze
The flow of air from land to a body of water forms this
Land breeze
How does wind move a sail?
It Uses the wind to move the surfer along the surface ofnthe water. That let's it move
How do differences in air pressure cause wind?
The cool air has a higher pressure flow underneath the warmer air. This forces the warm air to
rise. The opposite happens to the warm air.
How is wind related to air pressure and temperature
wind is related to air pressure and temperature because the winds depend s on them on how weak or
strong they are.
How do global winds travel in the southern and northern hemispheres
They blow steadily from specific directions over long distances.
What causes local winds
The unequal heating of earths surface within a small area causes them.
How does a sea breeze and land breeze work together on a beach?
The warm air rises and the cooler air moves to the side of the warm airs place
