Geography, Types, includes, The tendency of a parcel of air to…

- - - - The less denser the air,the lower the pressure
      - The denser the air,the higher the pressure
    - - The higher the temperature,the greater the expansion,the lower the pressure
      - The lower the temperature,the smaller the expansion,the higher the pressure
    - - The higher the altitude,the less denser the air,the lower the pressure
      - The lower the altitude,the denser the air,the higher the pressure
- - - - helps to balance the difference in pressure and distributes mositure and solar heat
  - - - During the day,air over the land gains heat faster than the air over the sea.The air becomes warmer and lighter and rises and expands,creating a lower pressure area.The air over the sea is cooler and sinks,creating a higher pressure area.Air moves from an area of higher pressure to a lower pressure,wind blows from the sea to the land,aka sea breeze
        
        Lowers temperature of coastal areas by 2-10 degree celsius
    - - During the night,the air over the land loses heat faster,The air is cooler and sinks,creating a higher pressure area.The sea is denser and warmer,thus warmer air rises and expands,creating a lower pressure area.Air moves from an area of higher pressure to a lower pressure,wind blows from the land to the sea aka land breeze
        
        During the night,increase temperatures,the range of diurnal temperature is smaller
  - - - Southwest
        
        During summer,the northern hemisphere in Central Asia is heated up.The air becomes warmer and lighter and rises,creating a higher lower pressure area
        
        However,the southern hemisphere is experiencing winter and the air is cooler and denser.Heavier air exerts more force,creating a higher pressure area
        
        Due to the difference in pressure,wind moves from a higher pressure an to a lower pressure area.
        
        As the wind passes through the equator,the coriolis effect deflects the wind to the right,becoming Southwest monsoon winds,warm up and travels towards Central Asia
        
        As the wind travels towars Central Asia,it picks up moisture from the Indian sea and brings about heavy rain to coastal areas of India
      - Northeast
        
        During winter,the northern hemisphere in Central Asia loses heat.The air is cooler and denser.Heavier air exerts more force,creating a higher pressure area
        
        A high pressure belt is formed in the Sub-Indian continents and Central Australia
        
        Cold dense wind blows from Central Asia in the northeast direction to Central Australia
        
        The wind is cold and dry as it travels through cold areas
        
        As the wind travels to towards the equator,it picks up moisture from the South China Sea and brings about heavy rain to Peninsula Malaysia and Singapore

        The southern hemisphere is experiencing summer,the air becomes warmer and lighter and rises,creating a lower pressure area
    - - Link Title
      - A force produced by the earth's rotation
        
        As the earth rotates,the coriolis effect changes the course of movement in objects ,resulting in the deflection/bending of winds
        
        The force is strongest near the poles,weak in the tropics and not felt in the equator
- - - - Water vapour rises and cools
        
        Condensation
        
        Water droplets bump into one another to become bigger
        
        Coalescence
        
        Clouds are formed,visible mass of ice crystals and water droplets are suspended in the atmosphere
        
        When these water droplets become too large and heavy,it falls back onto the earth's surface

- - - - Result of air instability when air is heated up
        
        When it is warmer and lighter than the surrounding air,it rises.
        
        As it rises,temperature drops and it becomes saturated (RH 100%)
        
        Condensation occurs when the parcel of air can no longer hold the water vapour within it
        
        Clouds are formed.Visible mass of water droplets are found in the air
        
        Water droplets combine to become bigger
