Question

Assertion (A): Variations in pressure cause horizontal movements of air called winds.

Reason (R): Winds transport heat and moisture from one region to another and affect both temperature and humidity.

Options

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and Rare true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

Variations in atmospheric pressure cause winds, which are horizontal movements of air. These winds transport heat and moisture, thereby influencing temperature and humidity. Thus, the reason correctly explains the assertion.
