Question

Which statement describes the general movement of air masses? *

They move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
They move from areas of high altitude to areas of low altitude.
They move from areas of low humidity to areas of high humidity.
They move from areas of low temperature to areas of high temperature.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
They move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

In fact, molecules in the areas of higher pressure have higher energy (and so higher speed), so they tend to "expand" into the regions of lower energy (lower pressure), so air masses move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.
