C) faster the wind speed
D) slower the wind speed

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greater the difference in air pressure, the faster the wind speed. This is because air moves from high pressure to low pressure, and the greater the difference in pressure, the stronger the force driving the air movement. The other options (A and B) are not necessarily affected by the difference in air pressure, and option D is contradictory to our understanding of wind behavior.
