Can someone help me? What causes all wind?

differences in gravity
difference in oxygen
differences in air pressure
differences in the thermosphere
2. What causes differences in air pressure? *

even heating of the Earth
even cooling of the earth
uneven heating of the earth
global warming
3. The Sun warms the atmosphere and drives convection currents because *

warm air is more dense than cooler air.
warm air has more pressure than cooler air.
warm air is less dense than cooler air.
warm air has a higher dew point than cooler air.
4. Land and water absorb and release the sun’s heat in different ways. One result of this is a sea breeze. Which statement is true of sea breezes? *

They happen during the day and blow toward the land.
.They happen during the day and blow toward the water.
They happen during the evening and blow toward the land.
They happen during the evening and blow toward the water.
5. Why do land breezes occur at night? *

Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer
Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.
Water cools off slower than land, so the air above water is warmer.
6. Why does the Earth experience unequal heating? *

The oceans are not equally distributed around the Earth.
The Earth's revolution brings it closer to the Sun at certain points during the year.
The Earth's axis is tilted causing sunlight to be distributed unequally.
The atmosphere is not equally distributed around the Earth.
7. The Coriolis Effect is caused by the rotation of earth. What impact does this have on global winds? *

Global winds are much stronger due to the Coriolis Effect
Global winds are curved clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis Effect
Global winds follow straight paths from pole to pole due to the Coriolis Effect
Global winds are not impacted by the Coriolis Effect
8. What is the general pattern of winds at the equator? *

Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region of mostly low air pressure
Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region of mostly low air pressure
Winds are generally strong because the equator is a region of mostly high air pressure
Winds are generally weak because the equator is a region of mostly high air pressure
9. What type of winds blow constantly, predictably, and over long distances? *

land breezes
mountain breezes
global winds
lake breezes
10. Which statement correctly defines wind? *

Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Wind is the movement of air from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure
Wind is the movement of air pushed around and bouncing off Earth's surface.
Wind is the movement of air to a colder area in the atmosphere.

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
