Factors that Effect Wind

1. What 3 factors effect wind?

• Pressure Differences
• Coriolis Effect
• Friction

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

I think the Coriolis Effect has the greatest effect b/c the Coriolis Effect makes things more interesting.

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.

If the Coriolis Effect suddenly stopped, the weather would become boring and easy to predict, and the weather would be the same for a long time.
