Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects wind speed?
A. Coriolis effect
B. Humidity
C. Pressure gradient
D. Friction
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Humidity does not directly affect wind speed. Wind speed is influenced by the pressure gradient (difference in pressure), the Coriolis effect (deflection), and friction (with the Earth's surface).
Explanation:
Humid continental climates (Köppen Dfa/Dfb) are characterized by cold winters (below 0°C) and warm to hot summers, with precipitation throughout the year.
