Question

At the Earth's surface, warm air expands and rises, leaving behind what is known as an area of _____; cold air is dense and sinks to the surface to create what is known as an area of _____.
Your choices are, Convention, Conduction, Low Pressure, and High Pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Low-pressure zone

High-pressure zone

Explanation:

When the surface of the earth is heated due to the heat energy radiated from the sun, the air mass near the earth's surface also gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm and less dense and eventually rises up. This warm air when rises upwards, forms a low-pressure zone, which subsequently results in the occurrence of rainfall.  Here, the atmospheric pressure remains lower than that of nearby areas.

Again, When the warm air rises up, it experiences lower temperatures and cools down. As it cools, it again becomes dense and thereby falls back, forming a high-pressure zone, where the atmospheric pressure remains relatively higher than the surrounding places.

Answer 2

Answer:

Low Pressure

High Pressure

Explanation:

At the Earth's surface, warm air expands and rises, leaving behind what is known as an area of Low Pressure; cold air is dense and sinks to the surface to create what is known as an area of High Pressure.
