Question

Choose the factors responsible for the generation of wind currents on the Earth:

• A. Uneven heating between the poles and the equator.
• B. Uneven heating of land and water in the coastal regions.
• C. Too much cooling of polar regions.
• D. Too much heating of polar regions.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Uneven heating between the poles and the equator.
B Uneven heating of land and water in the coastal regions.

The various factors responsible for the generation of wind currents on the Earth are:

• Uneven heating between the poles and the equator.
• Uneven heating of land and water in coastal regions.

This uneven heating creates an air pressure difference thus causing a movement in air which is called wind.
