Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Pressure Gradient is

1. The rate of change of pressure with respect to distance is the pressure gradient.
2. Pressure Gradient Force operates from the low-pressure area to a high-pressure area and causes wind movement.

Which of the above statement/s is/are correct?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 only

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The differences in atmospheric pressure produce a pressure gradient force. The rate of change of pressure with respect to distance is the pressure gradient. Pressure Gradient Force operates from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area and causes wind movement.
