70% to passWhat is a common unit of measure for atmospheric pressure?
A
centimeters
B
Inches
C
Degrees
D
Feet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Inches. Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured in inches of mercury (inHg). This is a standard unit used for barometric pressure, which is an important factor in weather forecasting and navigation. Inches of mercury is a widely recognized and accepted unit for expressing atmospheric pressure. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the common unit of measure for atmospheric pressure. Centimeters (A) and feet (D) are not the standard units used, and degrees (C) would not be an appropriate unit for measuring pressure.
