- Q9Air rises due to pressure and density. Which correctly explain this?Low pressure and low density air rises because it is light for its sizeLow pressure and high density air rises because it is light for its sizeHigh pressure and high density air rises because it is light for its sizeHigh pressure and low density air rises because it is light for its size45sEditDelete
- Q10Air falls due to pressure and density. Which correctly explain this?Low pressure air which is low density air falls because it is heavy for it's sizeHigh pressure air which is low density air falls because it is heavy for it's sizeHigh pressure air which is high density air falls because it is heavy for it's sizeLow pressure air which is high density air falls because it is heavy for it's size45sEditDelete
