You can always trust a weather forecast to be 100% accurate because weather models are never wrong.

• True

• False

Where would air pressure be lowest?

• At sea level.

• In a cave.

• In a valley between mountains.

• At the top of a mountain.

Air particles spread out and move faster when:

• Air temperature increases.

• Air temperature decreases.

• There is no change in air temperature.

• humidity will increase and we will experience moisture.
