Homework - Air Pressure and Air fronts

Posljednje ažuriranje about 1 year ago

Air pressure is the weight of the molecules in a large mass of air. When molecules of air are cool, they are closer together than when they are warm. Cool air masses have high pressure, or more weight. Warm air masses have low pressure, or less weight.

Warm air also puts less pressure on the Earth than cool air. As a result, air in a low-pressure system rises. Cool air puts greater pressure on the Earth than warmer air. As a result, air in a higher pressure system sinks.

Homework - Air Pressure and Air fronts

In the Northern Hemisphere, Earth's rotation causes winds to blow counterclockwise around a low-pressure system and converge. Around a high pressure system, the winds blow clockwise and diverge.

In a High Pressure System, cool, dense air sinks and clouds cannot form. High pressure systems often bring clear skies and fair weather. In a lower pressure system, warm less dense air rises. This rising air cools as water vapor in the air condenses. Therefore, a low-pressure system is often associated with cloudy weather and precipitation.
