Neco Model Questions Vol1 2021 Geography Question 8
Practice objective / multiple choice question 8 from the 2021 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Station X at latitude \(5^{\circ}00'\) N, longitude \(5^{\circ}00'\) E records an atmospheric pressure of \(1012\) hPa. Station Y at the same latitude \(5^{\circ}00'\) N but longitude \(6^{\circ}00'\) E records \(1004\) hPa. Assuming wind blows from higher to lower pressure and using the empirical relation \(V = 20\sqrt{\dfrac{\Delta P}{\Delta d}}\) where \(V\) is wind speed in km h\(^{-1}\), \(\Delta P\) is the pressure difference in hPa and \(\Delta d\) is the straight‑line distance between the stations in km, determine the wind speed and its direction.
