Weather Interim Review

What type of weather does high pressure result in and why is this?

• High pressure results in clear, sunny weather because cool air sinks which does not allow for clouds to form.

• High pressure results in clear, sunny weather because warm air rises which does not allow for clouds to form.

• High pressure results in cloudy weather with possible precipitation because warm, humid air rises and allows clouds to form.

• High pressure results in cloudy weather with possible precipitation because cold air rises and allows clouds to form.

Why are thunderstorms more likely to occur during the afternoon and evening than in the morning?

• Thunderstorms are more likely to occur during the afternoon and evening because the sun's energy has evaporated water throughout the day. This makes the air more humid and allows for the water vapor to cool and condense into clouds.

• Thunderstorms are more likely to occur during the afternoon and evening because the sun's energy has evaporated water throughout the day. This makes the air more dry and allows for the water vapor to warm and condense into clouds.

• Thunderstorms are more likely to occur during the afternoon and evening because there is geothermal energy heating the water which puts water vapor into the air. This water vapor can then cool and condense into clouds.

• Thunderstorms are more likely to occur during the afternoon and evening because the moon's energy has condensed water throughout the day. This makes the air more humid and allows for the water vapor to cool and evaporate into clouds.
