Gce Model Questions Vol1 2021 Geography Question 41
Practice objective / multiple choice question 41 from the 2021 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Using the weather map shown, the isobars labelled \(1000\ \text{hPa}\), \(1010\ \text{hPa}\) and \(1020\ \text{hPa}\) are parallel and equally spaced \(25\ \text{km}\) apart. At the point midway between the \(1000\ \text{hPa}\) and \(1010\ \text{hPa}\) lines a wind arrow points southwest, indicating the direction of the wind. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the pressure gradient between the \(1000\ \text{hPa}\) and \(1010\ \text{hPa}\) isobars in \(\text{Pa}\ \text{km}^{-1}\). (b) State the direction of the pressure‑gradient force at that point.
