The different atmospheric pressures cause the air to have zones with different temperatures, the cold air tends to descend and the hot air to rise because it has less density. This movement of the two airs in the atmosphere is what generates the wind.
Answer:
higher, higher
Explanation:
It takes more energy to rip apart stronger bonds (that's mostly just common sense there). The boiling point increases because it would take more energy to get the molecules to go from a stuck together liquid, to separating in a gaseous form.

See explanation
Explanation:
Racemization is said to occur when a 1:1 ratio of (+) and (-) enantiomers of a compound are produced in a reaction.
The reaction of optically active (R)-2-methylcyclohexanone with either aqueous base or acid leads to the formation of a planar enol species for reaction with acid and a planar enolate species for reaction with base.
Both reactions involves the formation of achiral species which reverts back to the chiral product with equal chances of the formation of both enantiomers of the product during the process. This leads to racemization of the product in both cases.
