The Factors

1. What 3 factors effect wind?

• Pressure Differences
• Coriolis Effect
• Friction

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

• Pressure differences, because it is what brings bad or good weather.

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.

• The earth would have a steady temperature each day, all over the planet. I do not think this would beneficial. If this would happen plants and many animal species would probably not survive, or they would have to adapt rather quickly.
