The force that generates wind is ________.
A)Coriolis force
B)gravity force
C)centrifugal force
D)pressure gradient force

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force that generates wind is the pressure gradient force. This force is generated by the difference in atmospheric pressure between two points, and causes air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, which results in wind. The Coriolis force, gravity force, and centrifugal force are all important in explaining wind behavior, but they are not the force that actually generates wind.
