Question

Wind is caused due to the differences in atmospheric pressure.

• A. pressure
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

pressure

Gases and air molecules have a natural tendency to move from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure and attain a uniform pressure throughout. When air above a region is heated, it starts rising up. As the air rises up, a low pressure region is created over that region. This will result in bulk movement of molecules of air from high pressure area to low pressure area which give rise to wind.
