Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Gravity: compresses the atmosphere; counteracts the outward centrifugal force acting on the Earth's spinning surface. Pressure gradient force: drives air from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. Coriolis force: deflects wind relative to the rotation of the Earth. Friction force: drags on the wind as it moves across the Earth's surface, extends to a height of 500 m.
