Which of the following is an accurate description of the relationship between pressure gradients and wind?Which of the following is an accurate description of the relationship between pressure gradients and wind?A pressure gradient will cause the winds to deflect to the right relative to the source.There is no correlation between wind movement and pressure gradients.A weak pressure gradient will generate fast winds.A strong pressure gradient will generate fast winds.A pressure gradient will cause the winds to deflect to the left relative to the source.

Answer 1

The only accurate description of the relationship between pressure gradients and wind given in the previous sentences is: A strong pressure gradient will generate fast winds.

You have to understand that:

1) A pressure gradient is a difference in barometric pressure between the near point.

2) Air is a compressible fluid

3) because 1) and 2) a pressure gradient will generate an airflow from the point with the highest barometric pressure to the one with the lowest barometric pressure (this is call wind).

Therefore, if the pressure gradient is stronger, the fluid flow will be stronger (and the speed of the wind).

Answer 2

A strong pressure gradient will generate fast winds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A strong pressure gradient will generate fast winds.

When pressure gradient is high or we can say that when pressure gradient become more steeper then wind speed will become high or we can say that generated wind speed become high.When pressure changes suddenly then it is know as high pressure gradient.
