Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force.
The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.

Is wind another force that causes weathering true or false?
It is true.
What is the predicate in this sentenceThe wind began to blow?
The wind began to blow The wind is the subject began to blow is the predicate
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
How does wind change the earth?
it effects the climate of neighboring regions.
What causes planetary wind belts?
Due to unequal distribution of pressure winds blow in perticular direction throughout the year and are reflected due to axial rotation of the earth.This is how planetory wind originates.
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
What is the name of the effect that causes wind to spin around large pressure areas?
Coriolis Force.
What is the source that causes the wind to blow?
What source: Energy From where: Sun
Does the wind make a noise when there is nothing for it to blow through?
yes because the wind has a force of its own
An erosional force that causes abrasion?

What causes mechanical weathering to blow sand against exposed rock?
Wind
What effect will steep pressure gradient force have on wind?
it will make strong winds blow. (A+)
When the wind blows what happens?
When the wind blows it causes energy to move around and makes objects move.
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
Is wind another force that causes weathering true or false?
It is true.
Does the fan convert electricity into wind energy?
No, the fan converts the electrical energy into kinetic energy. this kinetic energy causes the wind to blow..
