A. air pressure
B. air density
C. size of gas molecules
D. space between gas molecules

Asked by blg64549

Answer (1)

At higher altitudes, air pressure and air density decrease while the space between gas molecules increases. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the space between gas molecules increases as a result of increasing altitude. This behavior stems from the reduction in pressure at higher elevations. ;
