Displacement of air
« on: January 06, 2009, 08:31:31 AM »
Hello I have just discovered this site, and I find it very interesting. A lot of healthy discussions going on. But I have a question. How do you explain the displacement of air particles in our atmosphere, caused by the earth's rotational force if you claim that there is no rotation? The logical explanation to wind is this, and to change in temperature as well.

Read the FAQ for starters.

Also, particles (to my knowledge) move for several reasons, when it is warmer they move faster and spread apart, when it is colder they move closer together and slow down.  They repel or attract each other due to where they are located on the periodic table and their electric charge.

Wind is caused by changes of temperature.

It works exactly the same on the FE model.
Feel free to fix my scientific mistakes  :)
Normally when I'm not sure I just cop a feel.

Wind is caused by changes in temperature and pressure.

In other words convection right?

That'd be the word.
