A strong wind from the north blows in a straight south direction. However, to an observer, the wind appears to be moving to the southwest. What accounts for this shift in wind direction?
because there are fewer air molecules as altitude increases
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff
water vapor
by causing warm air to rise and cold air to sink
high temperatures
troposphere
calm weather, as air sinks
How does the convection of air produce thunderstorms?
because there are fewer air molecules as altitude increases
the rotation of Earth beneath the layer of air
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff
water vapor
