Answer 1

Hello. You forgot to replace the map needed to answer that question. The map is attached below:

Answer:

B) west to east

Explanation:

The letter H on the map represents an area with high air pressure, while the letter L represents an area with low air pressure. As in the areas of lower temperature or colder the pressure is greater, the wind leaves these areas and goes towards those of higher temperature, which present less pressure. For this reason, we can say that the wind is moving from west to east.

The greater the pressure difference between the regions, the greater the wind speed, and in these situations, strong winds or winds can occur, which are given different names, depending on the location: hurricane (Caribbean), tornado (USA), typhoon (Asia).
