What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Gravity causes air to be denser near Earth's surface.
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
Why fo clouds usually form high in the air instead of near earths surface?
Clouds form when moisture condenses and moisture condenses when it is cooled. The air is cooler higher up.
How is air heated near the earths surfaces?
It's heated through the convection currents.
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Gravity causes air to be denser near Earth's surface.
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
Is air pressure greater near the earths surface or at higher altitudes?
I am sure that if you think about the problems encountered by climbers on Mount Everest you might be able to answer that yourself. Near the Earth's surface.

How does friction between the ground and molecules in the air affect winds near the earths surface?
Wind at the surface is slower than the "winds aloft" The biggest effect is within a few inches of the ground.
What increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the earths atmosphere?
the air being heated by the sun
Why do clouds usually form high in the air instead near the earths surface?
Because there is more water vapor up in the sky.
