Explain how wind forms. What two other factors cause winds to deviate?
Wind is formed due to the horizontal differences in the air pressure where the air flows from high to low
pressures locations. Wind is controlled by the pressure gradient, friction, and Coriolis Effect. The two
factors that lead wind to deviate are horizontal pressure gradient which is the driving force behind wind
and the Coriolis Effect which is changed the wind direction. This deflection (1) is at all times at right
angles to the airflow track (2) changes only wind direction (3) is determined by wind speed (4) strongest
at the poles, weakest at the equatorward and is no...
