Surface winds blow across the isobars at an angle due to the frictional force. (True or false?)

Surface winds blow across the isobars at an angle due to the frictional force. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 2 - The vertical pressure gradient force is directed downward. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 3 -

Suppose that the winds aloft are geostrophic and blowing from the north. With the same
orientation of isobars at the surface, the winds would blow from the southeast. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 4 -

Suppose that the winds aloft are geostrophic and blowing from the north. Low pressure is located
to the east. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 5 - If the earth stopped rotating there would no longer be a Coriolis force. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 6 - The Coriolis force is strongest at the equator. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Q. 7 - The rate of the earth's rotation determines the strength of the pressure gradient force. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
