What unit is used to measure atmospheric pressure?
Think about the weight of air above us.
What direction do winds blow in relation to pressure?
Remember the concept of pressure difference.
What is the average atmospheric pressure at sea level?
Think of the weight of air around you.
True or False: In the Southern Hemisphere, wind around a low-pressure area moves clockwise.
Remember the Coriolis effect.
Discuss the implications of the Coriolis effect on global trade winds. How does this influence weather patterns in terms of cyclonic and anticyclonic systems?
Draw a diagram of wind patterns to see the impact visualized.
Evaluate the effect that varying atmospheric pressure has on local weather conditions vs. global weather patterns.
Consider how changes can be immediate versus long-term.
