What is the definition of Stability?

• Describes whether circulating air motions will be strong or weak.

• Inability to adapt to changes
• Constantly changing state
• Lack of balance in the face of disturbances

• A scientific term for the temperature of a specific location
• A phenomenon where the temperature decreases with altitude

What is the definition of Wind?

• Wind is the movement of water caused by the rotation of the Earth.
• Wind is the result of volcanic eruptions.
• Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

• Wind is the sound produced by trees swaying in the breeze.
