Payal is completed her science chapter where she wrote some statements. She wants to know whether the statements are correct or not? Payal wants to take help from you:
(a) Weather is produced by the heat of sun and the effect it has on the atmosphere.
(b) The air moving from low pressure area to high-pressure area is called wind.
(c) Air always moves from high pressure area towards the low-pressure area.
(d) The heat energy of the sun absorbed and reflected by the earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, plays an important role in determining the weather at any place.
Correct Answer: (b) The air moving from low pressure area to high-pressure area is called wind. (c) Air always moves from high-pressure area towards the low-pressure area.
Explanation:
Wind always moves from the high-pressure area towards a low-pressure area.
