How does wind behave when it meets a step slope?
The steep slope stops and slows down the wind,then the wind goes back to normal speed.
What is windward slope?
the slope which the direction of the wind blows.
How does wind energy form?
by the time when warm air meets cool air.
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope?
A contour line (also known as isopleth) on a topographic map connects points of equal elevation or depth. The steepest way up or down is in the direction perpendicular to the contour line at any given point. This gradient on a topographic map is at its greatest when the lines are close together, thus the slope is steepest. Note that a contour map does not have to be topographic. Any value mapped in two or three dimensions such as temperature, barometric pressure, or wind speed can have contour lines connecting adjacent points of equal value. Again, moving away from a contour line in a perpendicular direction will yield the greatest change in the value of the quality being recorded.
What happens when you subtract two positives numbers?
It depends. It can wind up being a positive or negative number. For instance: 8-2=6 but 2-8=-6 (negative 6)
How does wind behave when it meets a slope?
When wind meets a steep slope, it goes up and keeps on going.

The steep slope stops and slows down the wind,then the wind goes back to normal speed.
How does wind behave when it meets a steep slope?
it will make strong winds blow. (A+)
What part of a sand dune is characterized by a gentle slope?
A sand dune is a desert feature that forms as a result of wind or rain action towards one side. The sand dune usually forms towards the dominant side of the wind direction and can vary in gradient.
What part of a sand dune is characterized by a pronounced slope.?
The upwind direction of a sand dune has a gentle slope. A steep slope is on the downwind side. The pronounced slope of a sand dune is called a slip face. Sand erodes from the wind off the slip face. To learn more about sand dunes, visit http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol111/deserts.htm.

What 2 things are steep cliffs carved by?
Steep cliffs can be carved by wind or water.
If you climbed up the steep side of sand dune is it likely tht you traveled in the directions the wind was blowing?
The steep face of a mobile sand dune is in the lee of the prevailing wind. Therefore, to climb the steep face you would be going against the prevailing wind.
Is the wind blow N to S in a desert - what does the dune look like steep south slope?
it would sorta look like a crescent with the part that bends facing north and the 2 points facing south

The cast of Wind Meets Earth - 2012 includes: Andreas Bytoft
