Temperature variations create atmospheric disturbances from "summary" of Storm in a Teacup by Helen Czerski
Temperature is not just about how hot or how cold something is. It's about the movement of energy and the flow of heat from one place to another. When temperature changes in the atmosphere, it doesn't happen evenly. Some areas warm up faster than others, creating imbalances that lead to disturbances in the air. As the sun heats the Earth's surface, different materials absorb and release heat at different rates. This creates a patchwork of temperature variations across the planet. Warm air rises and cold air sinks, setting up a cycle of movement that we call convection. Think of it like a giant pot of soup on the stove, with bubbles of heat rising to the surface and then sinking back down as they cool. These temperature variations are the root cause of atmospheric disturbances. When warm air meets cold air, they don't just mingle peacefully. They clash and create turbulence, like two opposing armies ...
