| A | B |
|---|
| How does the number of air molecules relate to air pressure? | The greater the number of air molecules, the greater the air pressure |
| What force affects wind direction? | Earth's rotation |
| What causes the Corolis Effect? | Earth's rotation |
| How do monsoons winds affect rainfall? | summer monsoons reginate over water and are moist and bring heavy rains |
| Why are jet streams formed? | The Earth's surface is heated unevenly |
| How are sea breezes caused? | Air over the land rises and expands; denser ocean air moves into the area of low pressure |
| How do differences in air pressure affect the movement of air? | Air moving from an area of high pressure to low pressure |
| What is the relationship between air pressure and wind? | The differences in air pressure causes wind |
| What factor determines the strength of wind? | differences in air pressure between 2 areas |
| Why is air warmer over land during the day and warmer over water at night? | Land and water absorb and release heat at different rates |
