Question

The velocity of winds depends upon ______.

विकल्प

• Pressure gradient

• Friction

• Coriolis force

• All of these.

Answer 1

All of these.

Explanation:

Wind speed increases with a stronger pressure gradient (greater difference in pressure). Friction with the Earth’s surface slows down the wind near the ground. The Coriolis force, caused by Earth’s rotation, changes wind direction and indirectly affects velocity. All these factors together influence the wind’s velocity.
