Answer 1

Answer:

1. Wind moves horizontally because of differences in air pressure. These differences in air pressure are a result of __differential______ heating of earth’s atmosphere from the _sun____.

2:This pressure moves from an area of __high___pressure to an area of__low___ pressure, creating the wind.

Explanation:

The sun rays ‘hit’ the earth's surface with increased obliquity with increasing latitude. In addition, the density of the sun rays per sq meter also decreases with increasing latitude. This is all due to the spherical nature of the earth.

However, there are also local differences that cause the earth's surface to heat differentially such as terrain and cloud cover, etc. This creates regions of warmer air mass (low-pressure zones) and cooler air mass(high-pressure zones). These differences cause winds because of air  rushes from high to low-pressure zones due to differences in air masses’ temperature-related densities.
