Neco Model Questions Vol1 2023 Geography Question 40
Practice objective / multiple choice question 40 from the 2023 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Two weather stations, A and B, lie 150 km apart on an east‑west line at latitude 30° N. At a given time the sea‑level pressure at A is 1012 hPa and at B is 1004 hPa. Assuming geostrophic balance, estimate the wind speed between the stations. Use the geostrophic wind formula \(V = \frac{1}{\rho f}\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta x}\) where air density \(\rho = 1.2\) kg m\(^{-3}\) and the Coriolis parameter \(f = 2\Omega\sin\phi\) with \(\Omega = 7.292\times10^{-5}\) s\(^{-1}\).
