Explanation / Answer

Question:1: answer: b: decreases, decreases

Explanation: As we gain height in the atmosphere the temperature and atmosphere pressure decreases. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

Question:2: answer: Equator, prime meridian

Explanation: Zero degrees latitude is the line designating the Equator and divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres. Zero degrees longitude is an imaginary line known as the Prime Meridian. Therefore, we are looking for what exists at the location where the Equator and the Prime Meridian cross each other.

Question:3: answer: The shorter the wavelength of its peak emission

Explanation: The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all the different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, including light, radio waves and x-rays. It is a continuum of wavelengths, from zero to infinity. We name regions of the spectrum rather arbitrarily, but the names give us a general sense of the energy; for example, ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths than radio light. The only region in the entire electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes are sensitive to is the visible region.        

The radiation temperature of an object is related to the wavelength at which the object gives out the most light. The intensity peak will be at shorter wavelengths for hotter objects, and at longer wavelengths for cooler objects.

Question:4: answer: high pressure to low pressure

Explanation: The pressure gradient force is the force which results when there is a difference in pressure across a surface. In general, a pressure is a force per unit area, across a surface. The air moves to the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure
