ssed the greater is the pressureof the wind against the plate. Knowing the distance through which the plateis pressed, we can calculate the pressure which the wind exerts on the platein question. With some degree of approximation, and for low velocities, the pressuremay be taken as proportional to… … Fig. 1037 -1018] Rcgii/ar, Periodic, and Variable Winds 1079 1017. Causes of winds.—Winds are produced by a disturbance of theequilibrium in some part of the atmosphere : a disturbance always resultingfrom a difference in temperature between adjacent countries. Thus, if thetemperature of a certain…
