10: ‘Atmospheric pressure’ what is it?

Ans: The pressure that the atmosphere exerts on the surface of the earth

because of its weight.

11. High pressure means……….. and …………….

Ans: Low pressure vice versa.

12. What is wind and current?

Ans; Pressure difference causes horizontal movement of air called wind and vertical movement of air
called current.

13. Who Causes the circulation of air in the atmosphere?

Ans: wind and current.

14. What is cross section?

Ans. Cross section is what we see when we out through the middle of something. So that we can see

the different layers is made of.
