Option 2 : 2 only

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. 2 only

The wind is the horizontal movement of air from regions of High Pressure to Low Pressure.
Winds can be classified as -
- Primary / Planetary Winds
- Secondary / Regional Winds
- Tertiary / Local Winds
The vertical movement of air is known as Air Current.
Atmospheric Pressure is directly proportional to the density and inversely proportional to the altitude. The air at Earth’s surface is dense due to the gravitational pull and has high atmospheric pressure.
