How do air parcels respond to a horizontal air pressure gradient? A horizontal pressure gradient refers to air pressure changes along a surface of constant altitude. The horizontal wind is governed by interactions of the pressure gradient force, centripetal force, Coriolis Effect, friction, and gravity. The pressure gradient force initiates air motion and arises in part from spatial variations in air temperature and, to a lesser extent, water vapor concentration.
Carbon fiber was invented in 1958 by Roger Bacon. It used Rayon  fibers which where heated until carbonized to create a highly  durable and strong material.
Carbon dioxide was the first gas to be described as a discrete substance. In about 1640, the Flemish chemist Jan Baptist van Helmont observed that when he burned charcoal in a closed vessel, the mass of the resulting ash was much less than that of the original charcoal.
