What three things affect air pressure?

height above sea level, temperature, and water vapor

wind, Earth's distance from the moon, and clouds

amount of plants, wind, and level of water in the ocean

temperature, wind and how much plant and animal life is around

The three main factors that affect air pressure are height above sea level, temperature, and water vapor.

  1. Height above sea level: As altitude increases, air pressure decreases because there is less air above to apply pressure.
  2. Temperature: Warm air is less dense than cold air, so as temperature increases, air pressure can decrease.
  3. Water vapor: Humid air (air with more water vapor) is less dense than dry air, which can also affect air pressure.

The other options listed do not accurately represent the primary factors influencing air pressure.
