Location a and b are adjacent. location a is at a higher temperature than location b. what will most likely happen? a. the two locations will experience different air pressures. b. the convection currents of air above the two locations will stop. c. the air above location a will sink to create a low pressure region. d. the air above location b will rise to create a high pressure region.

Option (A)

Explanation:

The air molecules are densely packed near the surface of the earth and are scattered in the upper atmosphere. It is because of this, the air pressure and temperature near the earth's surface is higher than it is at higher altitudes.

In the given data, A and B are two nearby places, where location A has a higher temperature and B has a low temperature.

This means that A has high pressure, as the air pressure and temperature are directly proportional to one another and as height increases, temperature and pressure simultaneously decrease.

So, it can be concluded that location A experiences a high temperature and high-pressure condition because of its low elevation (height).

Whereas, location B experiences low pressure and low-temperature condition because of its higher elevation.

Thus, both the location A and B will experience different atmospheric pressure.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
