Volcanoes are not randomly scattered around the world but as in the Pacific Ring of Fire they are usually located where subduction of the oceanic plates beneath continental plates is occurring and for example on the west coasts of North, Central and South America they occur in a linear belt close to the Pacific.

Most of the time in the atmosphere, the upward-directed pressure gradient force is exceeded by the downward pull of gravity.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Ture

Explanation:

The pressure gradient is the force that is produced due to the rotation of earth pressure cells that creates lighter air to move upwards and heavier to move downwards due to the difference in densities of air.

As the air above consists of lighter elements the oceanic air mostly consist of diatomic molecules of oxygen and nitrogen thus containing a large amount of water vapor, all these molecules have a mass that are pulled down by the gravity and this pull of gravity on columns of gas applies a force what we see an atmospheric pressure.

The gas particles and molecules of heavy and denser matter get stuck at the ground, similarly, as the air cools is descends and warm air rises. Thus upwards and downward motion of air causes convergence and divergence of molecules.
