Answer» <p>1) air exerts pressure in all directions.</p><p>2)When the velocity of thewindis great enough, the air pressure above the surface is lower compared to that underneath. This cause therooftoblow off. The aeroplane work in the same principle (lower pressure on top surface)hence option (c)</p><p>3) option(a)If a region is heated more than its surrounding a low pressure area develops above it.</p><p>4) option (a) We see the lightning before we hear the thunderbecause light travels faster than sound. The light from thelightningtravels to our eyes much quicker than the sound from thelightning.</p>
