Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Geography - 2012 (Objective) Subject: Geography

Question 1 Report

Which of the following statements is true of winds?
Answer Details
Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This is because air moves from a region of higher air pressure to a region of lower air pressure, resulting in the movement of air, which we perceive as wind. The greater the difference in pressure, the stronger the wind. Therefore, the statement that is true of winds is that they blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The other statements are not true.
