  • Question
  • The force that generates wind is


  • Options
  • A. Gravity force
  • B. Pressure gradient force
  • C. Coriolis force
  • D. Centrifugal force

  • Correct Answer
  • Pressure gradient force 

    Explanation

    Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. The force that generates wind is called as Pressure gradient force.
