mention two factors that influence the pattern of winds?
Dear student,
Following are the factors that influence the pattern of wind :-
1. Pressure gradient- wind speed depends upon the pressure gradient. Wind speed will be more if the pressure gradient is steep.
2. Frictional force - As friction is greater near the surface therefore it exerts a frictional drag on the air blowing just above it. This can change the wind's direction and can slow it down.
Regards.
