Question

Use the table of temperatures from several areas to complete the statement area X temperature 22 Celsius area Y temperature 18 Celsius area z temperature 18 Celsius air will move from A area y to x B Area Z to area Y C area y to area z D area x to area z

Answer 1

To determine the direction of air movement based on temperatures, we know that air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure, and it typically moves from warmer areas to cooler areas.

Given the temperatures:
- Area X: 22°C (warmer)
- Area Y: 18°C (cooler)
- Area Z: 18°C (cooler)

Now, considering the potential movements:
- A: Area Y to Area X: **Air would move here since Area X is warmer than Area Y.**
- B: Area Z to Area Y: **Air would move here since Area Y is at the same temperature as Area Z, but since area Z is cooler than Y, air will still move from Z to Y.**
- C: Area Y to Area Z: **Air would not move here as both areas are at the same temperature, and air moves from higher to lower temperatures.**
- D: Area X to Area Z: **Air would move from Area X to both areas Y and Z because X is warmer than both Y and Z.**

From this analysis, the correct answer is:
- **A: Area Y to Area X and B: Area Z to Area Y**.

However, since option A specifies a specific direction rather than just stating that air moves towards cooler areas, that is the most direct and correct statement based on the temperatures given.

If you need a specific answer from the options provided (A, B, C, D), choose:

**A: Area Y to Area X.**
