Question

Which of the following is NOT a force that influences the wind? A. coriolis effect B. magnetic field C. pressure gradient D. friction

Answer 1

A magnetic field does not have any influence on wind. The Coriolis effect, pressure gradient, and friction do affect wind.

The solution is B.

Answer 2

Answer: B. magnetic field

Explanation:

Wind blows when there is difference in air pressure i.e. in the area having pressure gradient, wind blows from high pressure area to low pressure area. Force of friction slows the speed of the wind. Thus it is responsible for motion of air. Coriolis effect causes the circular motion of the air. The Coriolis effect changes the direction of the wind.

Thus, from the given options, only the magnetic field does not influence the wind. Magnetic field effects the charged particles or magnetic materials not the wind.
