Winds blow ________
A
In regions of low pressure
B
From a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure
C
From a region of low pressure to a region of high pressure
D
In regions of high pressure
Correct Answer: From a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure
Wind will always blow along the pressure gradient from areas of high pressure to those of low pressure. The changes in pressure in the atmosphere arise from changes in temperature, which in turn is due to differences in how the sun heats different patches of air.
