as you increase in altitude density _________ and temperature ___________

• fluctuates, decreases

• increases, decreases

• decreases, fluctuates

• fluctuates, increases

• none of these

what is this image showing

• albedo

• ozone layer depletion

• decreased carbon dioxide concentrations in a city

• local climate

• all of these

be able to describe what happens to volume as the pressure changes.

• ok, got it

• no thanks

which is typically more humid? be able to explain why (saturation point, capacity, etc.)

• warm air

• cool air

warm, wet air rises at the equator and falls back to the earth as cool, dry air around 30 degrees north and south. this is an example of

• a hadley cell

• a polar cell

• trade winds

• gyres
