Barometer readings must be corrected for the effect of elevation because
 
  A) lower elevations are usually colder than higher elevations
  B) the acceleration of gravity is smaller at higher latitudes
  C) vertical pressure changes are much larger than horizontal pressure changes
  D) vertical pressure changes are much smaller than horizontal pressure changes

Question 2

If surface pressure readings were plotted on weather maps, they would give a false representation of the atmosphere because
 
  A) high elevations have higher surface pressures than low elevations, even if the sea-level pressures are the same
  B) high elevations have lower surface pressures than low elevations, even if the sea-level pressures are the same
  C) the surface pressure at high elevations is often greater than sea-level pressure
  D) the surface pressure at high elevations is often the same as sea-level pressure
