| The pressure exerted by the weight of the air above | air pressure |
| Average air pressure at sea level | 14.7 pounds per square inch |
| The result of horizontal differences in air pressure | wind |
| Air flows from areas of... | higher pressure to lower pressure |
| What generates pressure differences on earth? | unequal heating of earth's surface |
| The main energy source for wind | solar radiation |
| 3 factors that combine to control wind | Pressure differences, Coriolis effect, and friction |
| Water has a higher specific heat than sand, so... | Water heats and cools more slowly than sand |
| When hot air above the sand rises and cool air from the ocean rushes in | Sea Breeze |
| When hot air above the ocean rises and cool air above the land rushes out | Land Breeze |
