no one factor id more important than the other These wind maps were created when the typhoon was a Category 4 with winds of 131-155 mph. High winds are caused when air moves between areas with large differences in air pressure. It is strong enough to carry sailing ships across the ocean and rip huge trees from the ground. (t/f), Gradient winds follow a curved path. The main cause of wind is a little surprising. Strong headwinds can cause flight delays.HurricaneA hurricane is a giant, spiraling tropical storm that can pack wind speeds of over 257 kph (160 mph) and unleash more than 9 trillion liters (2.4 trillion gallons) of rain. D) wind force. You should view the short video on this so-called "effect" or "force." Millions of farmers, especially those in the U.S. states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas, lost their land when they were unable to harvest any crops.However devastating to the economy, wind is an important way plants disperse seeds. In addition to tropical depressions and tropical storms, there are five categories of hurricanes. both wind speed and latitude, true or false: is stronger at the equator and deminishes as you move toward the poles, upper air winds: Anticyclone: air blows out (diverges) from the center and rotates clockwise (N. Hemisphere) or counter-clockwise (S. Hemisphere). They have been instrumental in the history of exploration, communication, and trade. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico up the East Coast of North America and across the Atlantic to Northern Europe. Its magnitude depends on the pressure gradient, which is a measure of the spacing between isobars. If it's not blowing, there's no electricity generated.Still, use of wind energy has more than quadrupled between 2000 and 2006. Just about every wind on Earth can be traced in cause back to the Sun. You might think that the warm air would lead to a higher pressure area, but actually the opposite is true. The tip of South America and Australia, as well as the islands of New Zealand, are the only large landmasses to penetrate the Roaring Forties. (t/f), A southwest wind blows toward the northeast. They emanate from the polar highs, areas of high pressure around the North and South Poles. (t/f), Anticyclones characteristically have winds blowing toward their center. Acycloneis generally defined by meteorologists as: in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation. These pressure variations are caused by A)greenhouse effect B)non-circular shape of earth C)warm temperatures in the stratosphere D)uneven heating of the earth's surface E)earth's rotation B)rising and expanding The wettest typhoon ever recorded was Typhoon Morakot in 2009. T/F: If pressure gradient was the only force acting on the air, it would move in a curved path.
