Document Summary
Wind can be classified in different ways: composition (gaseous, scale, types of forces associated, solar wind. Sun generates magnetic field above surface when they clash; highly. Astronauts in space can see it when they close their eyes. Does not affect earth due to our magnetic field charged particles blast into space. Planetary wind: associated with most meteorological variables that affect our weather and climate. Composition: gas, liquid (cloud, solid (particulate matter) Need to keep air warm enough for optimum conditions for survival. Temperature changes assessed using expansion of fluid. Electrical - electrical resistant to a function. Mercury: pressure changes assessed using movement of mercury in a. Aneroid: pressure measured by changes in volume of a partially evacuated column box. Hygrometer: expansion and contraction of material due to changes in humidity hair used traditionally. Psychrometer: wet bulb temperature; cooling of air due to evaporation of water until saturation occurs. Movement of air in an ordered" fashion.
