Whats wind?????

Question

It blows,sometimes colg and sometimes warm.It never stops,where does it come from??????

Answer 1

its an element
it is a form of energy like fire, water, air and ground
when something dies it leaves its energy behind and that energy is all around us and is basically stocked until we or something else needs it, it is unlimited. The wind is actually formed because of pressure (high or low - like rain) the way the earth spins and the sun, it is different temperatures because of the warmth in the actual air and when it begins to form it summons energy from the air, when the atmosphere expands and contracts the wind is just there to fill in a vacant space

Answer 2

The UNEQUAL heating of the earths surface not only modifies air density and creates circulation patterns, it also causes changes in pressure. Meteorologists plot these pressure readings on weather maps and connect points of equal pressure with lines called isobars.The resulting pattern reveals the pressure gradient, or change in pressure over distance. when the isobars are spaced widely apart, the gradient is considered weak,while closely spaced isobars indicate a strong gradient. Isobars help identify pressure systems which are classified as highs,lows,ridges, troughs and cols.
Air generally flows from the cool dense air of areas of highs pressure into the warm,less dense air of an area of low pressure. The speed of the resulting wind depends on the strength of the pressure gradient. A strong gradient tends to produce strong winds,while a weak gradient results in lighter winds.
The force behind this movement is the pressure gradient force. If the pressure gradient force were the only force affecting the movement of air, wind would always blow directly from the higher pressure area to the lower pressure area. However,as soon as the air begins to move, it is deflected by a phenomenon called Coriolis force...this force affects all objects moving freely across the face of the earth. Essentially, things such as ocean currents, or airplane flight paths which would otherwise follow a straight line, end up tracing a curved path due to the earths rotation.

Answer 3

Wind is a mass of air that is trying to equalize in pressure to the air masses surrounding it. Colder air is more dense and settles closer to the surface of the Earth, whereas warmer air masses are less dense and push their way up. When we cold air masses moving their way along, sometimes, they are pushed on top of the warm air mass as it is rising and this is what creates the wind.

You can creat your own "wind" with a try full of ice cubes and a stove and boil some hot water. Place the large ice cube tray on the other end of the room and see what happens.

Answer 4

Warm air rising, cold air falling. Coupled with the Earths spin this creates wind. From a small puff of wind right up to Hurricane force.

Answer 5

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).

Given a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.

Winds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

Winds can also shape landforms, via a variety of eolian processes.

Answer 6

there are basically two types of wind:
difference in air pressure causes air to flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
hot air from the tropics rises and cold air from the poles sink, this causes cycles of winds that are also effected by the rotation of earth.

Answer 7

Wind is simply the flowing of air from a spot with a high barometric pressure to one with lower barometric pressure.
Compare it with water that will flow from a higher altitude to a lower one.

Answer 8

I will keep it simple and brief.When the atmosphere gets heated up,hotter air rises up because it expands and becomes light.Now the air around it rushes in to fill the vacant spot.whhhooosshhh...

Answer 9

the atmospherer and the movement of the arth and the clouds moving in different directions

Answer 10

i tell you wind comes from my butt it is mainly warm but hums rotten.
