Understanding Wind: Causes and Effects
Wind is a natural phenomenon caused by various factors, including differences in air pressure and the rotation of the Earth. In this assignment, you will explore the reasons behind the occurrence of wind, focusing on the density of air and the Coriolis effect. Understanding these concepts will help you grasp how wind patterns form and move across the planet.
Group 1
In this section, we will explore why wind occurs on Earth by understanding the concept of air density.
Question 1a
Short answer
Explain how the density of air affects the movement of wind.
Question 1b
Multiple choice
Which of the following is true about the relationship between air temperature and air density?
Warm air is denser than cold air.
Cold air is denser than warm air.
Temperature does not affect air density.
Air density is the same at all temperatures.
Group 2
This section focuses on how the Coriolis effect influences the movement of wind on Earth.
Question 2a
Short answer
Describe the Coriolis effect and how it affects wind patterns on Earth.
Question 2b
Multiple choice
In which direction does the Coriolis effect deflect wind in the Northern Hemisphere?
To the left
To the right
Upwards
Downwards
