4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does atmospheric pressure tell us?
Think about what is above us in the atmosphere.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you go higher in altitude?
Consider why it might be harder to breathe on high mountains.
What effect does altitude have on atmospheric pressure?
Think about what happens as you climb a mountain.
True or False: Winds blow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
Remember how wind moves due to pressure differences.
A scientist measures atmospheric pressure at sea level to be 1013.25 hPa. As they ascend a mountain, the pressure decreases. Calculate the new pressure at an altitude of 500m, knowing that the pressure drops by approximately 12 hPa for every 100m increase in altitude.
Use the rule of thumb that pressure decreases as you go higher.
Explain how changing atmospheric pressure can influence thunderstorms. Discuss the necessary conditions for thunderstorm formation related to atmospheric pressure.
What role does warm air play in storm systems?
