Q: Which of the following statement is correct regarding air pressure?
  • A. High pressure is associated with cloudy skies and wet weather.
  • B. Low pressure is associated with clear and sunny skies.
  • C. The air always moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
  • D. The air pressure is lowest at sea level and increases with height.
Correct Answer: Option C - The air always moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. This is because air always moves along pressure gradients, from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air is what we experience as wind. Hence statement C is correct.
