Question 13 • * SY2025-26 - 2002040 M/J Comprehensive Science 1 Sem 1 CR

Florida’s elevation affects its climate. How does elevation affect the temperature of an area?

Answer

As elevation increases, air pressure decreases, the air molecules come closer together, and the air warms.

As elevation increases, air pressure increases, the air molecules come closer together, and the air cools.

As elevation increases, air pressure decreases, the air molecules spread out, and the air cools.

As elevation increases, air pressure increases, the air molecules spread out, and the air warms.

Explanation

As elevation increases, the air pressure becomes lower. The air expands, so its molecules spread farther apart, and the expanding air cools; therefore, higher-elevation areas are generally cooler. Choice C correctly describes this relationship.
