What determines the path of a hurricane?

Back

The path of a hurricane is determined by high pressure systems that influence its movement.

Front

Back

City 'B' has clear skies because it is located near a high pressure system.

Front

What atmospheric conditions are described by strong winds, cloudy skies, and rain?

Front

What is a high pressure system?

Back

A high pressure system is an area where the atmospheric pressure is higher than the surrounding areas, often leading to clear skies.

Front

What is a low pressure system?

Back

A low pressure system is an area where the atmospheric pressure is lower than the surrounding areas, often associated with cloudy and stormy weather.

Front

How do ocean currents affect weather?

Back

Ocean currents can influence weather patterns by transporting warm or cold water, which affects air temperature and moisture.

Front

What role do wind currents play in weather?

Back

Wind currents help distribute heat and moisture around the Earth, influencing weather patterns and systems.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and air pressure?

Back

Generally, warmer air is less dense and rises, leading to lower pressure, while cooler air is denser and sinks, leading to higher pressure.
