Exploration Activity

1. Find an area on the globe where wind speeds are high. What is the wind speed in this area? What do you think is causing these high wind speeds to occur?
2. How do you think energy from the Sun affects the wind on Earth?

I think the energy from the Sun heats the air, causing it to rise and generate wind.



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Solar energy creates wind patterns globally based on temperature differences, leading to various wind flows.


Explanation:

Wind and Solar Energy Relationship

Wind velocity is influenced by the pressure gradient force and surface friction. Warm air rises due to solar heating, creating areas of low pressure. As a result, cooler air rushes in to fill the void, causing wind patterns globally.

Energy from the Sun and Wind

Uneven heating by the Sun creates atmospheric wind flows. Solar energy drives the movement of air masses due to temperature differences, surface conditions, and the Earth's rotation.
