Multiple Choice

Why does warm air rise?

• Warm air is more dense than cooler air.
• Warm air has more pressure than cooler air.
• Warm air is less dense than cooler air.
• Warm air has a higher dew point than cooler air.

Multiple Choice

Why do land breezes occur at night?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above water is cooler.
• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above land is warmer.
