About winds, we know that friction affects both wind speed and direction by acting as a counterforce. However, the different surface characteristics can also affect these two wind-related variables in different ways. Considering this information, select the correct answer below:
a) By looking at both wind direction and isobars symbols, we can see that right above the sea, the wind direction is more likely parallel to the isobars than compared to the continental surface.
b) Low-pressure areas tend to show faster wind speed than high-pressure zones.
c) Friction forces are less effective on continental surfaces than on oceanic surfaces.
d) All the alternatives are incorrect
