Study Notes
- Wind is the movement of air propelled from areas of high pressure to those of low pressure.
Uneven Heating
- Varying temperatures across Earth's surface causes wind.
Air Density
- Air density refers to the mass of air particles found in a specific volume, which affects pressure.
Cool Air
- Cool air tends to sink because it has a higher density and exerts greater pressure.
Warm Air
- Warm air ascends due to its lower density and reduced pressure.
Energy Transfer
- Energy transfer is the movement of energy from areas of high concentration to those of lower concentration.
Temperature
- Temperature measures the speed of molecular motion and influences heat.
Radiation
- Radiation is the transfer of energy through either empty space or matter.
Conduction
- Conduction involves energy transfer through vibrating molecules, typically in solids.
Convection
- Convection is energy transfer via density differences within fluids.
High Pressure
- Regions of high pressure are linked to cool air where particles are more tightly packed together.
Low Pressure
- Regions of low pressure are linked to warm air where particles are more spread out.
