How Does Wind Work?


1. What 3 factors affect wind?
The coriolus effect, pressure-gradient force, and friction are the main factors affecting wind.

2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?
In my opinion air pressure, has the greatest effect, due to it determining cyclones, anticyclones, good weather, and bad weather.

3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? Remember to include details about what might happen in your response.

There would be almost no movement of the wind, due to a lack of force to push it. Determining a weather pattern would most likely be exceptionally easy to understand in understand its movement due to the lack of it.
