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.

You are your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. you apply a horizontal force of 252 n in the negative x direction to try and move the 56 kg refrigerator. the coefficient of static friction is 0.61. (a) how much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator? give both magnitude (in n) and direction. magnitude n direction (b) what maximum force (in n) do you need to apply before the refrigerator starts to move?

You are in a car that is traveling along highway 99 at a constant speed of 16 m/s. suddenly you see a truck also traveling at a constant speed (3.0 m/s) that is on a track to cross your lane from an alley on the right and is moving into your lane (which you can’t get out of, because of broader safety concerns like head on traffic in the other lane). your car’s maximum acceleration is 6.0 m/s2 (either way, gettingfaster or slower) and your reaction time of 0.75 s between first seeing the truck and applying the brake or the accelerator. the distance from the side street, where you first notice the truck, to the right edge of your lane is 2.0 m and the lane also has a fixed width of 4.0m, check for yourself that all these numbers are reasonable. you will assume a reasonable size for your car. the truck is 3.0 m wide. a) how long will it take the truck from the moment you notice it, to block enough of your lane so you can’t slip past while also staying in your own lane (in seconds)? b) how far will your car travel (in meters) while your brain is figuring out what to do? c) if you decide that braking is in your best interests how long will it take you to come to a complete stop once you begin the process of braking (in s)? d) what is the minimum distance (in m) you must be from the truck to successfully stop before hitting
