Which statement best describes the relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speeds?

a. when a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves quickly from low to high pressure.

b. when a high- and a low-pressure air mass are close together, air moves slowly from high to low pressure.

c. when a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves slowly from high to low pressure.

d. when a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves quickly from high to low pressure.

"When a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves quickly from low to high pressure".

"When a high- and a low-pressure air mass are far apart, air moves slowly from high to low pressure".

Above statements best describes the relationship between changes in air pressure and wind speeds.

Option A and C

Explanation:

Cooler air often comes in to replace it when hot air rises, and wind often travels from places where it is cooler to areas where it is hotter.The greater the difference between high and low pressure, or the shorter the distance between high and low pressure areas, the higher the wind burst.

Pressure gradient outlines the gap in air pressure among two points in the environment or on the Earth's surface. Wind speed is important as greater the difference in level, faster the wind moves to balance out the variability from the high to low pressure.

answer: a

explanation:

read the following excerpt from “greece” by oscar wilde.

the sea was sapphire [colored], and the sky

burned like a heated opal through the air;

we hoisted sail; the wind was blowing fair

for the blue lands that to the eastward lie.

which words does the poet include to the reader visualize the scene?

“the sea was sapphire”

“through the air”

“was blowing fair”

“to the eastward lie”
