One factor that drives atmospheric circulation is the movement of air from warm equatorial areas to cooler areas. true false

The atmosphere is that thin gaseous envelope that surrounds our planet; it is not at all motionless in relation to the Earth; On the contrary, it is constantly animated by various movements.

These movements of the atmosphere have extremely variable characteristics:

- sometimes, it's a pleasant breeze that comes to refresh us, by a beautiful summer afternoon, when we are at the seaside;

- sometimes, it is violent winds which sweep a large part of France while wrapping around a vast zone of low pressures; from time to time these winds are so violent that they can uproot trees and make roofs fly away;

- and, sometimes, these movements of the atmosphere are in the form of fast ascents, with vertical speeds of the order of 10 m / s; these ancestries are localized, occurring on a small horizontal surface, of the order of a square kilometer, and they can give rise to a cloud of storm, the famous cumulonimbus.

Although this list is far from complete, it illustrates the great diversity of atmospheric movements.

so that's true

if the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force on the object.

explanation:

this is best explained by having an understanding of newton's second law, which states that f=ma. you see, when the forces are unbalanced, net force (sum of all forces) is not zero. therefore making it necessary for the object to have an acceleration in the direction of the net force.
