5 True/False Questions

1. cold air is more dense and → rises

   True        False

2. Cold air has __________ pressure than warm air → lower pressure

   True        False

3. latitude → the distance from the equator measured in degrees

   True        False

4. land breeze → movement of air from sea to land during the day when cooler air from above the water moves over the land, forcing the heated, less dense air above the land to rise

   True        False

5. wind chill factor → Increased cooling caused by the wind.

   True        False
