Question

In areas where temperature is low, the _________.

• A. air near the surface becomes heavy and sinks
• B. air near the surface does not heat up, but it rises
• C. air does not heat up and therefore, it does not rise
• D. air near the surface becomes heavy but it does not sink

Answer 1

The correct option is A air near the surface becomes heavy and sinks

If temperature of a place is low, air becomes heavy and sinks. It creates a high pressure area. If the temperature of a place is high, air near the surface heats up and rises. This creates a low pressure area.
