b. divergence
c.the coriolis effect
d.air pressure

Respuesta :

The force exerted by the weight of the air above an object is called air pressure

Answer:

D. Air pressure

Explanation:

Air pressure or atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by weight of air present above the object. As we move towards higher altitudes, the weight of air present above us reduces. The reduced weight of air also reduced air pressure at higher altitudes. Since molecules of air are present in all directions, air pressure is exerted in all directions on an object.
