Probably has something to do with a lower temperature means the volume of the gas is less.  What do you think?  and isn't this a question for the chemistry section?

anonymous · Answer

When Volume goes DOWN Temperature and Pressure go UP... but temp. from florida to alaska drops..so im not sure how this works out

anonymous · Answer

nevermind..that's wrong

anonymous · Answer

Volume DOWN
Temperature DOWN
Pressure UP

going from Alaska to Florida, temperature drops, causing an increase in pressure which decreases the volume (Charles' Law: temperature and volume are directly related; one goes down, so does the other).
