Solution

Air: Air is the gaseous mixture that envelops the earth. It is also referred to as the atmosphere and remains in place because of the gravity of the Earth.

  1. The uneven heating of the air leads to a non-uniformly distributed air circulation.
  2. The warm and cool winds have different temperatures and pressure that result in a clash of climatic conditions.
  3. This results in climatic fronts, depressions, thunderstorms, and cyclones.
