Factors that affect wind (whoo :])


1. What 3 factors affect wind?
-friction
-Coriolis Effect
-pressure differences

2. Which of the 3 do you think has the greatest effect? Why?

I think the Corilolis effect has the greatest effect on the wind because it completely changes the direction it.


3. What would happen if this factor (from #2) all of a sudden stopped? Remember to include details about what might happen in your response.

If the Coriolis Effect stopped all of a sudden then the wind would just blow North to South, straight across.
