A.They move farther apart from each other.
B.They stay at the same temperature.
C.They get closer to each other.
D.They become denser.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

A. They move farther apart from each other.

As altitude increases in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases because there is less atmospheric mass above it. This decrease in air pressure leads to a decrease in the number of air molecules per unit volume, causing air molecules to spread out and move farther apart from each other. Additionally, the temperature decreases with altitude, which also affects the behavior of the air molecules.
