I am not to sure but I think that it sinks...

The bottom layer in a of air is colder than the air above it?
Colder air sinks downwards, as it is denser than warm air. It is denser/heavier than warm air because the molecules are more crowded than warm air.
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
At the poles because the water is colder and less dense............
Why are highland regions colder than the surrounding region?
Temperature decreases with altitude
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
Are the sunspots hotter or colder than the surrounding areas?
They are colder and darker than the other areas
The bottom layer in a of air is colder than the air above it?
Colder air sinks downwards, as it is denser than warm air. It is denser/heavier than warm air because the molecules are more crowded than warm air.
What is the movement of water that occurs when a mass of water is denser than the surrounding water?
Denser water sinks.
Is Antarctica colder than Canada?
Yes, because it is closer to the poles
Why is there high air pressure at the poles?
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
At the poles because the water is colder and less dense............
Why is the bottom of the fridge the coldest?
Because colder air is denser than warm air and it tends to sink.
Whene does density of a material get greater?
Materials become denser as they get colder, unless, like ice, some other molecular force makes them less dense. Solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. The colder a solid is, the more dense it becomes because each molecule's energy, which helps it repel the others, is less.
Why are the highland regions colder than the surrounding regions?
Temperature decreases with altitude
Why are highland regions colder than the surrounding region?
Temperature decreases with altitude
Is an ocean or river colder?
It depends. If the river is in the mountains or near the Poles than it's probably colder but if the ocean is like the arctic ocean or something like that then that's probably colder
