How does cold air affect air pressure?
Cold air descends, resulting in higher air pressure. -
What happens in low pressure areas?
In low pressure areas, hot air rises, cools, forms clouds, and leads to precipitation. -
What happens in high pressure areas?
In high pressure areas, cold air descends, warms up, becomes drier, resulting in fair weather. -
How does air pressure affect weather in low pressure areas?
In low pressure areas, the rising hot air leads to cooling, condensation, cloud formation, and precipitation. -
How does air pressure affect weather in high pressure areas?
In high pressure areas, the descending cold air leads to warming up, drying out, and dry weather conditions. -
What kind of weather is commonly found in low pressure areas?
Low pressure areas are commonly associated with precipitation, often found in tropical rainforests. -
What kind of weather is commonly found in high pressure areas?
High pressure areas are commonly associated with dry conditions, often found in deserts. -
