Sun Heats Ground Unevenly
Open to everyone until Tuesday, September 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
The sun warms some places on the ground more than others. Warm air rises, cooler air slides in low, and this moving air is called wind.
In the picture
- Sunlit ground: it warms the air above it.
- Upward arrow: warmed air rises.
- Low arrow: cooler air slides in underneath.
Examples
- A sea breeze near the shore on a sunny afternoon.
- Air moving through an open window when one room is warmer.
Key takeaways
- The sun heats land and water unevenly.
- Air moves from cooler places toward warmer rising air.
