Correct Answer: The air always moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.


Solution : The correct option is The air always moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

It is generally true that air moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. This movement is a response to pressure differences in the atmosphere. Wind is essentially the movement of air from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure. The force that drives this movement is called the pressure gradient force. It is the force exerted on air particles due to pressure differences.
