Forces Affecting Velocity and Direction of Wind
Forces Affecting Velocity and Direction of Wind: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as, Frictional Force, Wind Circulation, Geostrophic Wind and Atmospheric Wind etc.
Important Questions on Forces Affecting Velocity and Direction of Wind
The horizontal winds near the earth's surface respond to the combined effect of three forces with gravitational force acting downward. If one of the forces is the frictional force, which are the remaining two forces?
The following factors are the net result of the wind generating forces:
Horizontal winds near Earth's surface respond to :
Wind movement is affected by:
Explain relative humidity.
The air that contains moisture to its full capacity is called:
Discuss the factors affecting the speed and direction of wind.
Explain the land and sea breezes.
While the pressure gradient force is from north to south, why are the winds north easterlies in the tropics?
