What causes air masses to move?

2 answers:

8 0

A difference in air pressure and temperature occurs. While weather conditions CAN affect air mass movement, a mixture of cold and warm air masses (which have differences in air pressure and temp) cause jet streams and more directly affect the movement of air masses. As a cold air mass builds, the temperature gradient between the cold air mass and the warmer air outside the air mass will increase. This increases the upper level winds which in turn helps steer an air mass away from its source region.

Why is it beneficial to use textiles made from synthetic fibers

mestny [16]

Synthetic fabrics are textiles made from man-made fibers rather than natural fibers. Chemically produced fabrics are made by joining monomers into polymers, through a process called polymerization. A synthetic fabric, when magnified, looks like plastic spun together.

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and wool, are made from animals or plant based fibers. While synthetic are man made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics. such as polyester, rayon, acrylic, and more. The benefits of using textiles made from synthetic fibers is that it saves the animals and plants that the fibers are based off of.

Hope this helped :)
