State two experiences that made you think that air exerts pressure (other than those given in the text).
Topic: Winds, Storms and Cyclones Winds, Storms

Answer 1

We have experienced that when we blow a balloon, the balloon becomes tight. If we try to fill more air, then the balloon will burst after an extent. This happens because air exerts pressure.
We have also experienced the movement of fringes of windows and doors of our houses when wind blows in a high speed. This also happens because air exerts pressure.

Answer 2

Whenever wind blows then it is a common phenomenon that the fringes of the doors and windows move vigorously and this happens because of air exertaing pressure on the doors and windows.

When we blow a baloon then the baloon grows bigger and hard. If we still blow the balloon then it bursts.

This indicates that air exerts pressure on the interiors of the balloon.
