This document discusses various topics related to air pressure and wind, including: - How air pressure and volume are related to temperature changes - Different types of barometers and factors that influence air pressure and density - Forces like pressure gradients, Coriolis effect, and surface friction that influence wind direction and speed - Examples of local winds caused by differences in land and sea temperatures - Factors like tides, density differences, and winds that influence ocean currents - Phenomena like upwelling and El Nino that impact ocean productivity

1. Air Pressure, Wind

2. Air that increases in temperature will
14%
86%
1. Increase in volume
2. Decrease in volume

5. What happened here???
The interior of the tank car was washed out & cleaned
with steam. Then all the outlet valves were shut and
the tank car was sealed. All the workers went home
for the evening and when they returned, this is what
they found.

6. Air that increases in temperature will
1. Increase in volume
2. Decrease in volume

7. Air that decreases in temperature will
1. Increase in volume
2. Decrease in volume

8. Pressure of a Gas =
The force that a gas exerts on a certain area

9. Barometers

10. Density
of Air

11. Air Pressure
and Altitude

12. Isobars and Wind

13. Forces influencing wind direction
and speed:
Pressure gradient force
Coriolis
Friction (at surface)

14. Pressure Gradient Force
Wind moves from higher pressure
to lower pressure

15. Coriolis Effect
