Question

Identify the true statement. Choose one: A. Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect places of equal relative humidity. B. Surface winds blow parallel to isobars. C. Areas receiving oblique solar radiation experience more insolation than do areas receiving direct solar radiation. D. Winds develop whenever a pressure gradient exists, and they always blow from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas

Answer 1

Answer:

The true statement is Surface winds blow parallel to isobars.

Option: (B)

Explanation:

• The wind always flows in parallel direction to the isobars if the flow of wind is near these isobars.

• Flight planning is done in accordance to this statement, though many other factors also decide the flow of wind like the friction factors.

• Isobar is simply a line that connects two points in the same level of atmospheric pressure at a specific period of time.
