Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
Earths surface winds generally blow from regions of higher air temp to lower temp true or false?
False... lower temperatures have more dense air pressure than warm areas. Winds alway blow towards low pressure areas in an attempt to equalise the air pressure (basic physics).
Why would the person weigh less on top of the mountain than on the Earths surface?
The higher you go the less effect gravity has on you.
Is the density of the salinity of seawater lower or higher?
Generally the Oceans are more saline in the tropics, that is to say the sea is less salty towards the polar regions.

What is the rising of regions of the earths crust to higher elevations?
tectonic plates
What is the rising of regions of the earths crust higher elevation?
tectonic plates
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.

False... lower temperatures have more dense air pressure than warm areas. Winds alway blow towards low pressure areas in an attempt to equalise the air pressure (basic physics).
What is a hollow or depression in earths surface wholly or partly surrounded by higher land?
A basin
Is the higher on earths surface the greater the objects potential energy is?
Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.

Is air pressure greater near 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.
