that drives all weather events
Atmosphere
is divided into
layers
that are based upon their
temperature gradient
Sunlight.
the energy that heat most earth surface
During radiation, electromagnetic waves transfer heat and light energy which affect the
air temperature
The
moon gravity.
main source of energy for wind current
Convection
in the atmosphere causes a change in air density, resulting in winds
Cool air
above the
ocean sinks
and
warm air
above the
land rises
Air pressure
affect the
speed of wind
The Land
heats and cools more quickly than the water
