Air pressure drops ________ with altitude in a column of cold (dense)air than in a column of warm (less dense)air.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Air pressure drops more rapidly with altitude in a column of cold (dense) air than in a column of warm (less dense) air due to the density differences. As we go higher up in the atmosphere, the density of air decreases, and colder air is denser than warmer air, leading to a more rapid decrease in pressure.
