Question

Horizontal pressure gradient force:

A depends only on the difference in pressure between two locations
B is independent of distance
C has both a magnitude and direction associated with it
D only affects air that is already in motion

Answer 1

C has both a magnitude and direction associated with it

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal pressure gradient -

It is one of the important and main forces which act on the air to make it move like a wind .

The pressure gradient force points from the high towards the lower pressure zone , it is oriented in the direction opposite from that of the pressure gradient .

Hence , the correct option for the Horizontal pressure gradient force is ( c ) .
