  1. fluid dynamics - How is wind created? - Physics Stack Exchange

    I know that 'blowing air is called wind', but what I don't know is, how is wind created? And I don't want the answer from Google Search. I want to know more about wind at the atomic or molecular l...

  2. Is wind caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure or by ...

    Apr 25, 2018 · 3 I have heard that "Wind is caused by differences of atmospheric pressure" and "Wind is caused by differences of atmospheric temperature" both but I don't know for case that doesn't follow …

  3. What causes wind gusts? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 26, 2022 · To increase wind speed, you must increase the pressure gradient at this local place, but it is impossible to change the temperature at these places so fast, every time a gust hits. It isn't clear …

  4. Explain the direction of waves on sea shore

    Aug 22, 2011 · Waves are generated by wind. But aside from small local winds, most of the waves you see at the shore are generated by stronger winds far out on the sea from where they start to …

  5. Concept of energy created from explosion - Physics Stack Exchange

    Jan 8, 2021 · I image this explosion created a force field that propogates outward in every direction from origin of explosion. I image it like an travelling aperiodic finite-length wave of force. Amplitude of this …

  6. fluid dynamics - Is it true that a pair of open windows create a strong ...

    Feb 22, 2021 · Even opening a side window that is parallel to the wind can create some air flow from the lower air pressure due to Bernoulli's principle. If there is no wind, setting a fan to blow in or out of one …

  7. Why is aurora borealis circular in shape when viewed from space?

    Sep 10, 2023 · Only some of the aurora patterns are circular; most of them are more irregular and blobby in shape. It is known that the aurora itself is created when electrons in the earth's …

  8. atmospheric science - Why is it that the wind over land in day (low ...

    According to my understanding, wind moves from its region of higher pressure to its region of lower pressure. So during sea breeze, cold wind over the sea (high pressure) blows to the land (low press...

  9. fluid dynamics - Relationship Between wind velocity and induced …

    Nov 23, 2023 · 1 Consider the following scenario: There is a wind blowing right above lake surface. This wind will induce a surface current in the lake. I am quite new to this topic, so I would be interested to …

  10. How does the Earth's magnetic field protect it from the solar wind?

    Jul 12, 2019 · Now as the solar wind's particles interact with the magnetic field of the Earth, the magnetic field's energy is transferred to the solar wind's particles as kinetic energy and momentum, …
