What happens to air density when temperature increases?
Think about how molecules behave when heated.
What type of weather is typically associated with high pressure?

Remember the concept of air density.
True or False: High-pressure systems are associated with stormy weather.
Think about what happens in high-pressure conditions.
A weather balloon rises from sea level to 2000 meters. If the air density at sea level is 1.225 kg/m³, and the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s², calculate the change in air pressure.
You need values for each altitude.
Explain how a transition from a low-pressure to a high-pressure system can change in the local weather. Provide an example.
