Uh, the sun? Wind is continuous

There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning. Born below the ever cloud-capped peaks that gave the mountains their name, the wind blew east, out across the Sand Hills, once the shore of a great ocean, before the Breaking of the World.

I don’t care what anyone says about the show I’m pumped to watch s2e6 tonight.

I haven't gotten around to watching it yet!

m0darn ,

Get around to it.

It can be very disappointing if you’ve read the books.

Seriously no one is going to give the title? Everyone just assuming everyone gets the reference?

Wheel of Time

Kage520 ,

I thought season 1 was okay. Weird Perrin had a wife… don’t know how that will play out later. Did they use matches at the beginning? I guess that plot is gone but it was minor enough I guess. Additional romance stuff was typical to gain a broader audience I suppose. Overall I was relatively happy. Much better than Sword of Truth’s show adaptation.

Didn’t know season 2 had started, is it further from the books?

uid0gid0 ,

They didn’t have matches in the books prior to Mat traveling with the Illuminator who invented the cannons. She also invented the matches.

It’s not the greatest but it’s still decent fantasy TV. There’s so much crap that I’m happy with decent 😂

All weather is a result of heat exchange and pressure differentials caused by an unequally heated atmosphere. (The side toward the sun is warmer.)

Natanael ,

For mere mortals: various exposed land masses gets heated by sunlight, and the air in contact with that land gets heated too.

When air gets warmer it expands (because atoms move and collide faster). That makes it less dense, so colder and denser air (with its slower atoms) falls in under the warm air and pushes the warm air up. If the ground is still warmer then that cold air gets heated too.

When that happens just at one point it makes air move around that warm ground in a “donut shape”, up in the center and out and down and back in.

When that happens at many different locations then those air movements collide with each other, and now we have complicated weather which takes big supercomputers to simulate.

Terry Pratchett taught me that wind is caused by all of the trees waving about.

Now that one makes sense

AdmiralShat ,

When one area cools, the air their contracts, when another area warms, it expands

When it contacts, it pulls, when it warms, it pushes.

whynotzoidberg ,

According to the link in the top comment (sorry for caps, copied it out of the image): COOL AIR TRAVELS TOWARDS WARM AIR OVER LAND.

So the warm air does push, but it pushes upwards (rises). Cool, low pressure air, then fills the void.

This clarification brought to you by another non-expert in the field. Ha

Where does an ocean wave start?

All currents are circular when you zoom out far enough, and are driven by inequalities in energy. Inequalities in thermal energy, for wind, and wind energy, for waves. Inequalities in voltage drive electrical current, which is remarkable fluid like, in its behavior.

“Wind forms when the sun heats one part of the atmosphere differently than another part. This causes expansion of warmer air, making less pressure where it is warm than where it is cooler. Air always moves from high pressure to lower pressure, and this movement of air is wind.” source

Now do farts...?

Edit: Sorry, just seeing your username. Excuse the ridiculous question.

girl ,

lol it’s cool, girls are not automatically offended by the concept of or actual farts. Farts would be too small to produce a significant breeze but there would be a very small air disruption from both the fart itself and the temperature change it would impart

JungleJim ,

I think he meant that scientifically girls don’t have the ability to fart. /s

bran_buckler ,

Or breaking wind. This one has so many layers

Bonehead ,

A very small air disruption...

hungryphrog ,

Did you forget that girls don’t fart??

aka the sun’s discrimination makes air go woosh

Where does a circle start? Just pick a point on the cycle and go around from there.

fubo ,

The Coriolis force contributes to large-scale wind movements such as hurricanes.

m0darn ,

I don’t think it’s relevant to the creation of the wind. Just its direction.

Wind has many sources from a meteorological/climatological standpoint. Breaking wind, however, is a biiiiit more specific.
