The Altiplano region of South America has dramatically shaped ventifactsrocks carved by the wind-driven sand and ice.The winds power to erode the land can be detrimental to agriculture. Colder air sinks. Hurricaneforce winds, 74 mph or more, can destroy buildings and mobile homes. It's actually temperature. Tornadoes can occur individually or in multiples, as two spinning vortexes of air rotating around each other. As the rising air cools its capacity to hold water decreases (relative humidity increases) and, at some point, saturation with respect to water vapor is reached. Winds carried volcanic ash and debris high in the atmosphere across the globe. the comparatively high pressure gradient in the area. T/F:In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes all moving objects that travel large distances in the atmosphere to deflect to the right of their original path. KamikazeLike the Protestant Wind, kamikaze were specific historical winds. Air from a high pressure area will move towards an area of low pressure. It is not, however, any windier than most other cities.The nickname most likely came from Chicagos relationship with Cincinnati, Ohio, in the 19th century. What is going on here? Which of the following is not a mechanism to lift air to cause condensation, cloud formation, and potentially storms: a. colliding air masses - fronts b. orographic lifting c. convection d. Course Hero is not sponsored or endorsed by any college or university. The most famous rain pattern in the world, the Southeast Asian monsoon, is a seasonal, moisture-laden trade wind.Besides ships and rainfall, trade winds can also carry particles of dust and sand for thousands of kilometers. The relationship between continental and maritime trade winds can be violent.Most tropical storms, including hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons, develop as trade winds. How does friction act to change the direction of the wind near the earth's surface? The winds at the 500-mb level determine the direction of movement for weather systems. The labeled lines on the map are called ________ and they represent lines of equal ________. its pressure gradient The air sinking towards the surface of the anticyclone not only causes the high pressure but also is associated with general subsidence, which prevents rising air and adiabatic cooling. This Tri-State Tornado sped for 338 kilometers (219 miles) through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
