Question

What affects the velocity of winds?

• A. Extent of difference in air pressure between two places.
• B. Extent of people in an area
• C. Extent of wind present in an area
• D. Extent of difference in air temperature between two places.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Extent of difference in air pressure between two places.

The extent of the difference in the air pressure affects the velocity of the wind. If there is less difference in the pressure, winds blow with less velocity. Winds blow with greater velocities if the pressure difference is greater.
