Question

On Earth, winds from the north and the south blow towards the equator. What can we infer from this?

• A. Earth is round or spherical in shape.
• B. It is hotter in and around equator.
• C. It is hotter in and around the north and south.
• D. Wind does not flow from the east or the west.

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is hotter in and around equator.

Winds that are cold usually shows lateral (sideways) movement while the ones that are warm shows vertical movement. Since the wind blows from north and south towards the equator, we can conclude that equator is hotter than other places.
