Which one of the following diagrams shows the direction and duration of wind?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation
The correct answer is the Star diagram, also known as a Wind Rose. This is a specific type of radial diagram used in geography and meteorology. The 'star' shape consists of spokes radiating from a center; the direction of each spoke indicates the wind direction (e.g., North, SW), and the length of the spoke represents the duration or frequency of wind blowing from that direction. In contrast, a Climogram shows temperature and rainfall, an Ergograph relates crops to climate, and a Cartogram is a statistical map.
