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.

I'm kinda lost ! 1. when marilyn takes her pet dog for a walk, the dog walks at a veryconsistent pace of 0.55 m/s. draw a position-time graph to representmarilyn's dog walking the 19.8 m distance from the front of her house tothe nearest fire hydrant.2. both car a and car bleave school when a stopwatch reads zero. car atravels at a constant 75 km/h, and car b travels at a constant 85 km/h. a) draw a position-time graph showing the motion of both cars. howfar are the two cars from school when the stopwatch reads 2 hrs? calculate the distances and show them on your graph. b) both cars passed a gas station 120 km from the school. when dideach car pass the gas station? calculate the times and show themon your graph.3. the figure below shows the position-time graph showing a shopper'smovement up and down the aisle at a store. a) write a story describing the shopper's movements at the store. b) when does the shopper have a position of 6 m? c) how much time passes between when the shopper enters the aisleand when he gets to a position of 12 m? what is the shopper's averagevelocity between 37 s and 46 s?

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
