Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind shear generally takes place because of the changing speed as well as the direction of the prevailing wind, at a particular distance. A significant amount of wind shear usually occurs within the earth's atmosphere. The strong and intense type of wind shear results in the formation of extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

This shearing of wind generally occurs in the following regions-

(1) They occur in the region where there are differences in the prevailing wind speed.

(2) They also occur at high elevation due to the effect of jet streams.

(3) They form in the region where the warm and hot air collides with the cold air near the surface of the earth.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
