Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net convergence of air at the surface leads to an accumulation of mass and thus an increase in surface pressure. Conversely, net divergence involves the outward movement of air from a region, leading to a decrease in mass and a subsequent decrease in surface pressure.
