Which weather variables are most easily determined by using this weather instrument

• air temperature and wind speed

• visibility and wind direction

• relative humidity and dew point

• air pressure and cloud type

A balloon carrying weather instruments is released from the Earth's surface.

As it rises through the Troposphere, what will the instruments generally indicate?

• a decrease in both air temperature and air pressure

• an increase in both air temperature and air pressure

• an increase in air temperature and a decrease in air pressure

• a decrease in air temperature and increase in air pressure

What does the graph tell you about the association between air temperature and air density:

• As temperature rises air density rises

• As temperature sinks air density sinks

• As temperature increases air density decreases

Air temperature and air pressure are inversely related. Warmer air is less dense and tends to rise, creating areas of low pressure, while colder air is denser and sinks, leading to high-pressure areas.
