5. Which of the following statement is INCORRECT with regard to Air and
Air pressure?
A) The air always moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
B) On moon there is no air and hence no air pressure.
C) The air pressure is lowest at the sea level and increases with height
D) Hot air is lighter and rises up while cold air is denser and tend to sink down
Answers
Answer:
The air pressure is lowest at the sea level and increases with height
Explanation:
As altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure is low. This happens for two reasons. The first reason is gravity.

Answer:
A.Gases move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. That rush of air is the wind we experience.
B.Our Moon doesn't have an atmosphere because it is too small and doesn't have a strong magnetic field. Any atmosphere it might have had would be stripped away by the solar wind that barrages the small world. In contrasst, our planet has more mass to hold its atmosphere close, and a strong magnetic field to protect it.
C.Near Earth's surface the pressure decreases with height at a rate of about 3.5 millibars for every 30 metres (100 feet). However, over cold air the decrease in pressure can be much steeper because its density is greater than warmer air.
D.hot air rises because it is less dense than the surrounding air. Answer 2: Hot air pushes out on the air around it, and thus becomes less dense. Less dense air rises because the denser, cooler air sinks because it is heavier and gravity pulls on it more strongly
