Answer: B.

Air pressure decreases as you increase in altitude.

Explanation:

Gravity pulls the gas molecules towards the center of the earth. This pull of gravity becomes stronger and closer to the center at sea level. Air becomes dense at sea level where the gravitational pull is stronger. Gases at the sea level are also compressed by the weight of the atmosphere above them. The force of the earth weighing down over a unit air is known as atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower and the air is less dense than at higher altitude.

Which of the following occurred during the Age of Jackson?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

E.  Democracy for white males was more fully realized

Explanation:

Jackson aligned himself to the "common man" as white men who did not own land were now allowed to vote.  He aimed to terminate the elitism and given more white men more democratic rights.

Jackson also promoted an increase in local agriculture and industry, trying to distance America from a reliance on Europe.  This increased the middle class as they settled upon land and gained wealth.  

Slavery and encroaching upon Native American land continued to be major issues at the time.
