Question
remember that waikoloa village and mauna kea in hawaii have similar latitudes and distances from the ocean but different altitudes. the table shows the altitudes of waikoloa village and mauna kea. complete the paragraph. the air pressure is ___ in waikoloa village than on mauna kea. this means that the air temperature is likely ___ in waikoloa village than on mauna kea. lower...higher higher...lower higher...higher lower...lower
Air pressure decreases with altitude. Since Waikoloa Village has a lower altitude (410 feet) than Mauna Kea (13,803 feet), the air pressure is higher in Waikoloa Village. Also, air temperature is generally higher at lower altitudes (due to factors like more heat retention from the ground and higher air pressure leading to more molecular collisions which generate heat). So the air temperature is likely higher in Waikoloa Village.
