Q2. Geostrophic winds are :
(a) Upper level circulation which encounters less friction.
(b) Lower level circulation which encounters less friction.
(c) Upper level circulation which encounters higher friction.
(d) Lower level circulation which encounters higher friction.
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
Geostrophic winds: Unlike air moving close to the surface, an upper-air parcel moves without a friction force because it is so far from the source of friction – the surface. So, there are only two forces on the air parcel – the pressure gradient and Coriolis force. When the forces balance, air moves at right angles to the pressure gradient, parallel to the isobars, as the geostrophic winds.
