Air is made up of gas particles. These particles exert pressure on every object they collide against This pressure is known as air pressure. Which of the following statements about air pressure is true? A. Warm air tends to have a higher air pressure than cold air B. Air pressure increases as altitude increases C. The atmosphere's air pressure does not vary. OD. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases

Question

Air is made up of gas particles. These particles exert pressure on every object they collide against This pressure is known as air pressure. Which of the following statements about air pressure is true? A. Warm air tends to have a higher air pressure than cold air B. Air pressure increases as altitude increases C. The atmosphere's air pressure does not vary. OD. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a given point. As altitude increases, there is less air above a given point, resulting in lower air pressure. Therefore, air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
