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.

Why do we need human dna
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mt DNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

What caused the earth to develop layers as it cooled?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

difference in density

Explanation:

We know that the high central density suggests the earth must be rich in nickel and iron and that much of the core must be liquid. This lower-density air then rises and is replaced by cooler, higher-density air. The result is atmospheric circulation that drives the weather and climate through redistribution of thermal energy.
