Which statements about wind are true? check all that apply.

wind is caused by differences in air pressure.
wind moves from low pressure areas to high pressure areas.
winds are named for the direction toward which wind is flowing.
an anemometer is a tool for measuring wind speed.
the wind-chill factor has a cooling effect.

Explanation:

Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas  of low pressure. This is because the areas of low pressure are composed of hotter and less dense air. The cooler air from the higher pressure region rushes in to displaces the rising warm less dense air. The direction from which the winds prevail FROM is used to name the winds(such as westerlies blow from West to East). A wind vane, windsock and anemometer measure the direction and speed of wind. As wind passes over the skin, it causes a cooling effect (the wind chill factor) because it blows the sweat away from the skin carrying with it the heat.

The winds are defined as the movement of air, which is caused due to the difference in the pressure. Winds can be categorized as gale, thunderstorm, or low breeze.

The correct answers are:

The statements can be explained as:

Thus, the wind is the movement of air from high to low pressure and can be measured using an anemometer.
