~Power ~Of ~The ~Wind~

1. What 3 factors effect wind?

pressure-gradient force
coriolis effect
friction

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

I think it is friction because it can changes the wind speeds and possibly directions.

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?

I think you could predict the weather because the air would always slow down.
