Answer 1

${\rm{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}$

→ Answer in brief.

1. What is air pressure?

2. Why do we observe winds blowing towards  the equator?

3. Where is the air pressure high-at the  equator or at the Poles?

${\rm{\underline{\underline{Answers:-}}}}$

1. What is Air pressure ?

Answer -

→ Air pressure ( Atmospheric Pressure ) is the pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere within the Earth .

→ Device which measures the air pressure is called Barometer

→ SI unit is Pascal

2. Why do we observe winds blowing towards  the equator?

Answer -

→ Warm equatorial air rises higher into the atmosphere and migrates toward the poles. This is a low-pressure system.

→At the same time, cooler, denser air moves over Earth's surface toward the Equator to replace the heated air. This is a high-pressure system.

3. Where is the air pressure high-at the  equator or at the Poles?

Answer -

→ The amount of heat radiation is of maximum at the equator.

→ The cold air at the poles is denser than the warm air at the equator

→ Hence, air pressure at sea level is higher at the poles than at the equator.

Answer 2

$\large{ \sf{ \red{Question \: 1 :}}}$

What is air pressure ?

$\large{ \sf{ \red{Answer : }}}$

⇢ Air pressure (Atmospheric Pressure) is the pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere within the Earth .

⇢ Device which measures the air pressure is called Barometer

⇢ SI unit is Pascal.

Why do we observe winds blowing towards  the equator ?

$\large{ \sf{ \red{Answer : }}}$

⇢ Warm equatorial air rises higher into the atmosphere and migrates toward the poles. This is a low-pressure system.

⇢ At the same time, cooler, denser air moves over Earth's surface toward the Equator to replace the heated air. This is a high-pressure system.

$\large{ \sf{ \red{Question \: 3 : }}}$

Where is the air pressure high-at the equator or at the poles ?

$\large{ \sf{ \red{ Answer : }}}$

⇢ The amount of heat radiation is of maximum at the equator.

⇢ The cold air at the poles is denser than the warm air at the equator

⇢ Hence, air pressure at sea level is higher at the poles than at the equator.
