If a pressure gradient exists as a result of differential heating of a continent in the northern hemisphere on a hot summer day, what type of wind system might you expect to develop? Near the surface, how would the wind be oriented? As the day progressed, would you expect the wind to shift direction? Why or why not?If a pressure gradient exists as a result of differential heating of a continent in the northern hemisphere on?
Warm air rises - the air heated over the land would rise.
Wind would flow in towards that area to replace the air that rose.
