Answer to Question 1

Wind rarely picks up grains larger than 0.5 millimeters. A windy region without abundant loose fine sediment on the surface would show no evidence of wind erosion.

Answer to Question 2

In general, the wind blows from regions of high air pressure to regions of low air pressure.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
