I always experience winds on our planet and I know it’s caused by different pressure areas. What causes wind to keep perpetually going and not evening out in mostly an equilibrium with the only changes being caused by moving things such as cars.
In: Planetary Science
The sun doesn’t heat the whole Earth equally. These means the atmosphere is heated unevenly. Additionally, we have oceans and deserts, so warm parts of the atmosphere that can take on a lot.of water, depending on where they are, may or may not take on that water.
The air is constantly trying to find equilibrium, we call that process “weather”
Hot air with lots of water is low pressure. High pressure is usually cold air with littler water. These high and low pressure systems are constantly moving around causing wind, and when a low pressure air gets lifted up in the air, it cools down and drops its water, causing rain.
