Answer:

A gain; lower

Explanation:

When an aircraft is flying in a region of warm air, the altitude is higher than the one the altimeter indicates. On the other hand, when the air is cold, the actual altitude is lower.

Given these facts, if the aircraft flies from warm to cold air, the altimeter will read too high, when in fact, the altitude will be lower. Conversely, if the aircraft flies from cold to warm air, the altimeter will read too low, when in fact, the altitude is higher.

Basile [38]

A dirt road would heat up and cool down the quickest

Explanation:

This is because the soil gets heated up faster than water which is a slow conductor of heat so water gets heated gradually.

On the other hand, the soil gets cooled down quickly than water which gets cooled down slowly. Soil absorbs heat whereas water reflects heat so when cooling down water loses a lot of energy.
