Air Pressure

Front

What is air pressure?

Back

Air pressure is how dense or squished the molecules of air are.

Front

What type of weather is usually associated with high pressure systems?

Back

High pressure systems usually bring sunny and clear weather.

Front

What type of weather is typically found in low pressure areas?

Back

Low pressure areas are usually wet and stormy.

Front

What happens to weather conditions when a high pressure system moves in?

Back

Weather conditions typically become sunny.

Front

What is the relationship between air pressure and weather?

Back

High air pressure is associated with clear weather, while low air pressure is linked to stormy weather.

Front

What does a low pressure system indicate?

Back

A low pressure system often indicates cloudy conditions and potential precipitation.

Front

How does temperature affect air pressure?

Back

Warm air is less dense and rises, leading to lower air pressure, while cold air is denser and sinks, resulting in higher air pressure.

Front

What is the effect of air pressure on wind?

Back

Wind is created by differences in air pressure; air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.

Front

What weather conditions are likely during a storm?

Back

Stormy weather is typically associated with low pressure systems.

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, usually leading to clear skies.
