Flashcards
Low Pressure Area: Land Type
Low Pressure Area: Land Type
Warm land heats the air above it, causing it to rise and creating an area of lower pressure.
Effect of Heat on Air Particles
Effect of Heat on Air Particles
They gain kinetic energy, move faster, and spread out, increasing volume and decreasing density.
Cause of Wind
Cause of Wind
Air moves from areas of high density (high pressure) to areas of low density (low pressure).
