Q. Consider the following statements about wind patterns and air pressure:

1. The greater the differences in air pressure between two places, the greater the wind.
2. High temperatures are associated with high air pressure.

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Only 1
Notes: The first statement is correct: wind speed increases with a greater pressure gradient. The second statement is incorrect, as high temperatures usually cause air to expand, reducing its density and pressure, thus high temperatures are actually associated with low air pressure. Therefore, only the first statement is correct.
