Question

Choose the correct option based on the following statements.
Statement 1: Wind blow on the Earth due to uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
Statement 2: Wind blow from a high pressure region to a low pressure region.

• A. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false
• B. Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statemnts are false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true

The wind is the air in motion. Since the Earth's surface is composed of land and water, it absorbs the Sun's radiation unevenly resulting in non-uniform heating on the Earth. This non-uniform heating on the Earth's surface causes wind to blow.
Wind blow from a high-pressure region to a low-pressure region.
Hence, both statements are true.
