  1. 1. Pressure is defined as force per unit:
    • (a) time
    • (b) area
    • (c) volume
    • (d) length
  2. 2. For the same force, pressure is greater when the area is:
    • (a) smaller
    • (b) larger
    • (c) unchanged
    • (d) doubled
  3. 3. The pressure exerted by the air above us is called:
    • (a) liquid pressure
    • (b) wind pressure
    • (c) atmospheric pressure
    • (d) muscular pressure
  4. 4. Wind blows from a region of:
    • (a) low to high pressure
    • (b) high to low pressure
    • (c) hot to cold only
    • (d) low to low pressure
  5. 5. Write the formula for pressure.
  6. 6. Why does a nail have a pointed tip?
  7. 7. Explain how winds are formed due to uneven heating.

  1. 1. (b) area — Pressure = force ÷ area.
  2. 2. (a) smaller — Smaller area gives greater pressure.
  3. 3. (c) atmospheric pressure — It is atmospheric pressure.
  4. 4. (b) high to low pressure — Air moves from higher to lower pressure.
  5. 5. Pressure = force ÷ area (P = F/A).
  6. 6. A pointed tip has a tiny area, so it creates very high pressure and pierces easily.
  7. 7. The Sun heats land, water and the air unevenly. Warm air expands, becomes lighter and rises, creating a low-pressure region. Cooler, denser air at higher pressure then flows in to replace the rising air. This horizontal movement of air from high to low pressure is wind. On a large scale, the strong heating near the equator and weaker heating near the poles set up global wind patterns.
