Question

ii. Increased wind speed ____________


a. increases air pressure

b. lowers humidity


c. reduces air pressure

d. does not
affect air pressure

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
