What is the ultimate cause of wind on earth?

Physics

Katena32 [7]3 years ago

The ultimate cause of earth's winds is solar energy. when sunlight strikes Earth's surface,it heats that surface differently. Newly turned soil, for example,absorbs more heat than does snow. uneven heating of Earth's surface,in turn, cause difference in air pressure at various locations. heated air rises, creating an area of low pressure beneath. cooler air descends,creating an area of high pressure. since the atmosphere constantly seeks to restore balance,air from areas of high pressure always flow into adjacent areas of low pressure. this flow of air is wind. the difference in air pressure between two adjacent air masses over a horizontal ditance is called the pressure gradiant force. the greater the difference in pressure, the greater the difference pressure, the greater the force and tje stronger the wind

How does friction,acceleration,speed and net force relate to each other?
Ludmilka [50]
<span>Friction – the force that acts to resist the relative motion (or attempted motion) of objects or materials that are in contact
</span><span>Acceleration – the change in velocity per certain time interval; how quickly motion changes</span>
<span>Net Force – the combination of all the forces that act on an object

</span>Isaac Newton<span>’s Second Law of Motion (F=ma) explains the relationship between force and acceleration in motion. The application of force on an object causes an acceleration of that object. Yet, force is not the only factor in the movement, or acceleration of an object. The two main influences on the acceleration of an object are net force and mass. For example, net force is directly proportional to acceleration while mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. In other words, net force- the force that has overcome friction and accelerates an object- is directly linked to acceleration; the more force you have, the faster an object goes.Other factors such as the friction, air or fluid resistance, and pressure effect the acceleration as well. All of these factors do not work against or in accordance with acceleration in the same way. Friction works in opposition to acceleration. Friction involves two objects that are in direct contact with on another but are moving in different directions. Involved with friction is air and fluid resistance. Fluid resistance, such as liquids or gases, focuses on when the object is moving in the opposite direction of a fluid flow or through a dense area of fluid. Air resistance involves movement through the air. The most noticeable effect of air resistance is when and object travels into a strong breeze or wind. And finally pressure, pressure refers to an applied force. With pressure you will find that the overall weight of and object doesn’t change no matter how you stand or lay it but you will fill more pressure from that same object depending on the force per surface area. The weight of the object has not changed but you that area of application the force feels greater. That is the pressure increase. In Newton’s Second Law, the areas such as free falling verse vacuum suction are also compared with the falling of objects.

The geologic time scale originally ordered earth’s rocks by
Rasek [7]

The geologic time scale originally ordered Earth’s rocks by relative age.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Geologic time scale is the measure of events occurred in year wise from the starting of universe. Mostly dating of rocks and fossil fuels are doing the trends still now. In order to measure the age of rocks, geological time scale have preferred relative age mode.

In this system, the age of rocks are measured and compared layer by layer. So the lowest layer of rock will be having the maximum age. As we don’t know the starting time of universe, so this method of comparison between the layers to order the rocks is best. So, depending upon the position of the rocks, the age can be determined.
