q13. the two basic causes that create wind and weather are

atmospheric heating and coriolis effect
rotation and revolution of the earth
tilt of axis and longitude
volcanic eruption and earthquake
none of the above

Explanation:

• Atmospheric heating: Uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun creates pressure differences. Warmer air is less dense and rises, creating low - pressure areas, while cooler air is denser and sinks, creating high - pressure areas. Air moves from high - pressure to low - pressure areas, which is the basic cause of wind.
• Coriolis effect: Due to the Earth's rotation, moving air (and other moving objects) is deflected. In the Northern Hemisphere, it deflects to the right, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it deflects to the left. This affects the direction of wind and large - scale weather patterns like the formation of cyclones and anticyclones.
• Rotation and revolution of the Earth: Revolution (around the sun) causes seasons, but it is not a direct basic cause of wind. Rotation (on its axis) is related to the Coriolis effect, but when considered alone (without the heating aspect), it is not sufficient to explain wind and weather.
• Tilt of axis and longitude: The tilt of the axis causes seasons (due to the variation in solar radiation received at different times of the year), but longitude is a coordinate system and has no direct role in creating wind and weather.
• Volcanic eruption and earthquake: These are geological phenomena. Volcanic eruptions can have short - term effects on the atmosphere (e.g., by releasing ash and gases), but they are not basic, continuous causes of wind and weather like heating and the Coriolis effect.

Answer:

atmospheric heating and Coriolis effect
