Air pressure rises as you descend in altitude(more atmosphere above you pushing down), as the air is heated and expands in a fixed volume, as a high pressure region of air moves towards you, as the tangential velocity of air passing near you decreases(Bernoulli effect), as the elements that comprise the air become heavier or more energetic.

Which one of the following situations would cause air pressure to rise an increase in temperature cold air entering the region moisture entering the air?
Neither. The increase in altitude would cause air pressure to rise. :)
What situations would cause air pressure to rise?
Air pressure begins to rise in a situation where there is a change in the temperature, especially when there is cold air hitting the ground. The rise in air pressure produces winds and different types of weather.
Does the air in a low pressure region tend to sink or rise?
It tends to rise because it is warm air
As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...
Does the air in a high pressure area rise or fall?
It sinks

An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to?
An increase in air pressure will cause the mercury in a barometer to rise, indicating higher atmospheric pressure. This typically indicates fair weather conditions.
What atmospheric conditions must occur to cause a barometer to rise?
To cause a barometer to rise, high pressure and sinking air must dominate the atmosphere. High pressure occurs when air is sinking and compressing, leading to clear skies and generally fair weather conditions. This sinking air prevents the formation of clouds and causes the barometric pressure to rise.
Why do and breezes occur?
Convection currents cause the air to rise when heated. This causes the air pressure to become lower on the surface, which then pulls in air from nearby regions, which is felt as wind.
What things can effect air to rise?
Heat can cause air to rise :)
How does air lock affect a hydrostatic test?
Air can cause a very unsafe rise in pressure as air can be compressed as opposed to water thus the rational for a T&P valve.
What happens to air pressure as you rise?
It decreases!!
Does the air in a low pressure region tend to sink or rise?
It tends to rise because it is warm air
What would cause the air conditioning freon level to rise if no freon has been added?
You're not getting more refrigerant - you're getting air in your system, most likely from a leak in the low pressure (vacuum) side of the system.
What happens to air pressure as you go up a mountain?
The air pressure slowly decreases as you rise in altitude.
Is gas particles in the air pressure?
Yes it Does Cause air Press it does cause air pressure.
