What are 4 Characteristics of Bird?
1) Feathers 2) High Energy Animals 3) Fast Digestion 4) Flight 5) Getting of the Ground (Lift) 6) Raising Baby Birds
500
Explain how Lift works.
As a bird flies through the air, some of the air is forced over the top of its wings. Some air is forced underneath the wings. Because the bird’s wings are curved on top, the air on top has to move farther than the air underneath. So, the air on top moves faster than the air underneath. The faster moving air on top creates an area of low pressure. The slower moving air underneath creates an area of high pressure and pushes the wing up. This upward force that acts on wings is called lift.
