If distances between high-and low-pressure zones are short,__________ are steep and __________ are great.
A)slopes,wind velocities
B)pressure gradients,wind velocities
C)lapse rates,convectional flows
D)slopes,mountain and valley breezes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the distances between high-and low-pressure zones are short, the pressure gradients become steep and the wind velocities are great. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A, slopes and wind velocities, is partially correct but does not mention pressure gradients. Option C, lapse rates and convectional flows, is not relevant to the given information. Option D, slopes, mountain, and valley breezes, is not related to pressure zones and wind velocities.
