1.what effect does air pressure have on wind movement?
2.what happens to the density of air as it is heated
3. It’s a hot, sunny morning in a coastal town in south Florida. Warm air is rising up from the land. Large, puffy clouds are forming overhead. Which way do you think the wind will be moving this afternoon, and what do you think will happen to the temperature?

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Air pressure drives the creation of wind worldwide. Although it is not the only factor, differences in air pressure throughout the Earth's atmosphere lead directly to wind and influence the speed and direction of that wind. Pressure differences also affect larger weather systems like storms, even hurricanes.

2)

Heating of the earth, which in turn heats the atmosphere, is responsible for the motions and movements of the air in the atmosphere. The faster molecules move, the hotter the air. As the molecules heat and move faster, they are moving apart. So air, like most other substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward. This is the concept used in the hot air balloons. The air is heated by the burner and the expanding air becomes less dense, causing the balloon to rise through the denser, cooler surrounding air.

Answer: 1) Gases move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. That rush of air is the wind we experience. 2) So air, like most other substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward. This is the concept used in the hot air balloons.

Explanation: 3) Now that there are large puffy clouds in the area, most of sunlight will be clocked from reaching the earth's surface. The land will cool faster than the ocean (because water has a high heat capacity and has to lose more energy to drop by a degree which will take longer than land).
