Tipos de tiempo atmosférico: introducción

The video explains how the atmosphere causes weather, driven by the sun's energy. It covers air pressure, which decreases with altitude, and how temperature differences affect atmospheric pressure and wind. Water vapor in the air leads to precipitation, with low-pressure systems causing strong winds and rain, while high-pressure systems bring clear weather. The Coriolis effect, due to Earth's rotation, influences wind direction, deflecting it right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

What is the primary factor that influences the movement of air in the atmosphere?

• The gravitational pull of the Moon

• The energy from the Sun

• The rotation of the Earth

• The presence of water vapor

How does air pressure change with altitude?

• It decreases with altitude

• It fluctuates randomly

• It increases with altitude

• It remains constant

What happens to warm air as it rises in the atmosphere?

• It absorbs more sunlight

• It cools down and releases water

• It becomes denser

• It sinks back to the surface

In which direction does the Coriolis effect deflect winds in the Northern Hemisphere?

• Upwards

• To the right

• Downwards

• To the left

What is the result of the Earth's tilt and rotation on atmospheric conditions?

• It stabilizes atmospheric pressure

• It has no effect on the atmosphere

• It causes uniform weather patterns

• It creates the Coriolis effect
