Question

In areas where the temperature is high, the ________.

• A. air near the surface heats up but does not rise
• 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 heats up and therefore, it rises

Answer 1

The correct option is D air heats up and therefore, it rises

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