Which of the following is false regarding the wind?
A) It is initiated by the pressure gradient force.
B) It blows from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure.
C) The direction of flow can be affected by the rotation of Earth.
D) Air blows from regions of hotter air to regions of colder air.
E) Winds are named based on the direction from which they blow.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Air blows from regions of colder air to regions of hotter air. This is due to the difference in air pressure caused by temperature differences, which creates the pressure gradient force that drives wind. The air flows from areas of high pressure (usually cooler air) to areas of low pressure (usually warmer air).
