Weather and the Earth's Atmosphere

Question 1 • W Geography_A_IC

Wind is best described as what is created when __________.

Answer
A
water passes through various layers of air
B
warm, moist air rises from Earth’s surface
C
air moves from high to low pressure areas
D
temperatures increase, causing humid conditions

Explanation

Wind is air in motion. Differences in air pressure cause air to move from areas of high pressure toward areas of low pressure, so choice C, “air moves from high to low pressure areas,” best describes wind. Warm air rising can contribute to pressure differences, but it is not the definition of wind.
