Question

Suppose there are two air forces acting on the air at a given location. Suppose that the pressure gradient causes a force That is directed northwest toward a low

Answer 1

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

• The pressure gradient force is the force that is operating in the atmosphere and that accelerated the air particle away from the region of a high pressure that is directly across the isobars to a region of the low air pressure in responses to the air pressure gradient.

• The concept pf the pressure gradient is a local characteristic of the air and is defined by the spatial source at which the pressure is defined. And can be expressed as units of pascal per meters  

• As this force is directed from higher to the lower pressure this is known as a hydrostatic balance ad is done in order to balance the effects of the Coriolis force.
