Question

All the following are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :

Answer 1

Answer:

All  are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :

d. Warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface.

Explanation:

• When gases heat up, their volume increases and  density decrease.
• A decrease in density causes a substance to become lighter.
• Thus, when air warms up due to heat from the sun its density decreases and it gets lighter.
• So, it will move up.
• The Cooler air in turn is denser and heavier so it will sink towards the Earth's surface.
• Hence, the statement d , which states that 'warm air is less dense than cool air so in tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface' is FALSE.
