The answer to the question
stated above is: <span> Gas is easily compressible because the molecules of a gas are much further apart than
those of a solid.</span>
characteristic properties of gases:
(1) they are easy to compress,
(2) they expand to fill their containers, and
(3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids
from which they form.
A wind that blows at a constant speed parallel to curved isobars or contour lines is called a. gradient wind. Pressure changes. more rapidly in the vertical direction than in the horizontal. the pressure gradient force is directed from higher pressure toward lower pressure.
