Question

1. when heated air rises and cooler air flows in to fill the lower - pressure area created by the rising air, this flow is called ______. 2. what is the most significant influence on the creation and flow of wind? 3. the earths counterclockwise rotation causing polar air moving south to be deflected to the right toward the west is called the ____. 4. ____ is the difference in pressure between neighboring areas of high pressure and low pressure. 5. the greater the pressure gradient, the stronger the ______ will be.

Explanation:

1. When heated air rises and cooler air flows in to fill the lower - pressure area, this is convection.
2. Temperature differences are crucial for wind creation as they cause density variations and pressure differences.
3. The Coriolis effect is the result of the Earth's rotation causing moving air to be deflected.
4. The pressure gradient force is the force due to pressure differences between areas.
5. A stronger pressure gradient leads to stronger winds.

Answer:

1. Convection
2. Temperature differences
3. Coriolis effect
4. Pressure gradient force
5. Wind
