Question

the factor responsible for variation in the horizontal distribution of pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Temperature of the air, amount of water vapour present in the air and gravitational pull of the earth determine the air pressure of a given place and at a given time. Since these factors are variable with change in height, there is a variation in the rate of decrease in air pressure with increase in altitude.

Answer 2

Answer:

Factors that affect the horizontal distribution of pressure are: Winds. Seasonal variation. ... Rotation of Earth has its maximum effect on Equator and so is effect of centrifugal force which results into reduction in air pressure.
