Question
a researcher is studying the movement of air.
what should the researcher expect to see in terms of the movement of air?
○ movement from low pressure to high pressure
○ no predictable patterns
○ no movement unless it is windy
○ movement from high pressure to low pressure
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This is because the higher - pressure air has more force pushing it outward, and it will flow towards the region with less pressure. Wind is the result of air movement, but air movement (due to pressure differences) occurs even when it's not "windy" in the common sense. There are predictable patterns (like global wind patterns) based on pressure differences. And air does not move from low to high pressure on its own.
