In-text Questions

Answer: Fallen leaves rise in the air and trees bend when a strong wind blows because the wind exerts a force and creates pressure on them. This wind pressure is strong enough to lift light objects and cause larger objects to move or bend.

- When wind blows, it exerts a force on objects in its path.
- Strong winds create significant wind pressure.
- This pressure is enough to lift light objects like fallen leaves into the air.
- For larger objects like trees, the force exerted by strong winds causes them to bend or sway.
