Solution
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.
