Answer:
A. Higher standard of living for most people
The Green Revolution brought massive improvements in agriculture, which led to a great increase in food production that benefited most people around the world.

Explanation:
Answer:
If an isobar chart is observed, it can be seen that pressure is not distributed uniformly in the atmosphere around our planet: there are areas with a lower pressure than the surrounding areas and areas where the pressure is higher. Due to a characteristic of gases, air tends to move from high pressure areas towards those with low pressure in an attempt to balance the difference. The presence of high and low pressure areas is therefore the principal motor of all meteorological phenomena, in other words, of the ‘weather’. Hence, it is important to understand how air circulates close to these areas (see graph) and how they are distributed in the atmosphere
