2. Sea level atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 psia. On Mount Everest (at 29,000 feet), the pressure drops to 8 psia (roughly). Do you fly? Think about why they have to pressurize the cabin. Or… have you ever driven up a mountain and had to yawn to hear correctly? Air pressure certainly does change with altitude.

3. In equal amounts, it takes more energy to heat up a pound of earth than a pound of water. So… water warms more quickly than land.

4. The Gulf Stream is a warm current that flows (mostly) south to north. I spent a lot of time in Scotland place, which was at the same approximate latitude as Anchorage, Alaska. The Gulf Stream current is responsible for that region’s warmth… even in the dead of winter, it rains.

2. False. The air gets much thinner at higher altitudes.

3. True, I would think.

4. I don’t know.

2. false- beucase as you increase the alititude, the air pressure does increase and i htink its also cuz the air gets thinner (but dont take my word 4 it.)

3.false- water absorbs the light and it get hotter quicker

4. no clue.

DONT TAKE MY WORD EXACTLY FOR IT BUT IM SURE ABOUT THE TRUE AND FALSE… I THINK!!!! LOL

2. false. similar to water.

3. true. it takes more energy to heat water.

4. false. but not sure bout this one.

2. False

3. False

4. True

Hope that helps,
