Answer:
Option C. Warmer and drier is the correct option for the first question.
Option A. Decreases is the correct option for the second question.
Explanation:
- The cross-section below shows the direction of air flowing over a mountain. Points A and B are at the same elevation on opposite sides of the mountain. The air temperature and humidity at point B will be warmer and drier as compared to that of point A, as Point B is the Leeward side where sinking, warming & compressing air is dry.
- If the altitude increases the temperature will start decreasing because there is less air when we go upwards because of which pressure decreases and distance between air molecules increases as they spread out (air expands).
