Question

Which of the following is true concerning the figure? Surface winds are shown at right and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at left are shown at right and upper-atmosphare winds are shown at left because friction causos the wind to cross the isobars toward low pressure Surface vinds are shown at left and upper-atmosphere winds are shown at right because friction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward high pressure Surface winds are shown at left and upper-atmosphere winds are shovn at ight because fiction causes the wind to cross the isobars toward low pressune Subrnit ty Answers ive.Ua Cont

Explanation / Answer

Ans- the second option is correct i.e. the surface winds are shown in right and the upper atmosphere winds are shown in left because friction cause the wind to cross the isobar toward low pressure.

The reason behind this is that the surface object provide resistance to the wind and slows it down. It diminish the Coriolis effect and enhance pressure gradient due to which the surface winds cross isobars flowing from high to low.
