Question

How does density and temperature affect air masses? Select all that apply.

1. An increase in temperature will decrease the density of the air mass.

2. Density and temperature are not related.

3. As temperature increases, the amount of water vapor the air can hold increases.

4. As temperature increases, the air pressure of the air mass decreases.

5. As temperature decreases, the air pressure of the air mass decreases.

6. Density and temperature do not impact air masses at all. ​

Answer 1

1. An increase in temperature will decrease the density of the air mass.

2. Density and temperature are not related.

3. As temperature increases, the amount of water vapor the air can hold increases.

4. As temperature increases, the air pressure of the air mass decreases.

balloon example

When the air gets hot, it takes up more space and becomes less squished together.

When the air gets cold, it takes up less space and becomes more squished together.

If the air pressure changes, the size of the balloon (or the air mass) can change too.

hot air takes up more space and becomes less dense, and

cold air takes up less space and becomes more dense.

changes in air pressure can also affect the size of the air mass

balloon can change in size when the air pressure inside it changes
