What causes differences in air pressure around the Earth?
differences in air pressure
absorbed by Earth's surface.
during the night when the surface of the land cools faster than the sea
Warm air rises at the equator, and cold air sinks at the poles.
westerllies
local geographic features causing temperature differences
because gravity pulls gas molecules toward the surface
convection
When is a land breeze most likely to occur?
differences in air pressure
absorbed by Earth's surface.
during the night when the surface of the land cools faster than the sea
Warm air rises at the equator, and cold air sinks at the poles.

Local winds are produced by

Why is air pressure greatest at the Earth's surface?
differences in air pressure
absorbed by Earth's surface.
during the night when the surface of the land cools faster than the sea
Warm air rises at the equator, and cold air sinks at the poles.
