Question

The burning of fossil fuels creates a low pressure region. Pick out the correct options regarding this.

• A. Pressure difference will be same as temperature and pollution has no relation with pressure.
• B. Highly polluted regions will have low pressure
• C. Highly polluted regions will have high pressure
• D. Warm air region will be at low pressure.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B

Highly polluted regions will have low pressure

D

Warm air region will be at low pressure.

When the fossil fuels are burnt, temperature increases. This increase in temperature, increases the kinetic energy of air molecules and they start moving. Thus the same number of molecules will occupy more space. This reduces the pressure in that region. Therefore, the burning of fossil fuels creates a low pressure region.
