Question

a cool region underneath cloud cover will have ______ a region with no cloud cover.
a. the same pressure as
b. a higher pressure than
c. a higher temperature than
d. a lower pressure than

Explanation:

Cooler air is denser. Denser air exerts more pressure. So a cool region (denser air) underneath cloud cover will have a higher pressure than a region with no cloud cover (warmer, less - dense air). Option C is wrong as it's a cool region. Option A is incorrect because the temperatures (and thus densities and pressures) are different. Option D is wrong as the cool region has higher pressure.

Answer:

B. a higher pressure than
