Question
Wind is caused due to the differences in atmospheric pressure.
Answer: Option A
:
A
Gases and air molecules have a natural tendency to move from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure and attain a uniform pressure throughout. When air above a region is heated, it starts rising up. As the air rises up, alow pressure region is created over that region.This will result in bulk movement of molecules of air from high pressure area to low pressure area which giverise to wind.
