Feedback

Air pressure comes from the weight of the air above.

A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.

Barometric pressure is the atmospheric pressure exerted by the air.

Wind is simply the movement of air relative to the surface.

Convection currents arise from warmer air rising and cooler air sinking due to temperature differences.

Monsoons are seasonal winds characteristic of South and Southeast Asia.

Land breeze moves from land toward the sea, usually at night.

Sea breeze brings cooler air from sea toward the land during the day.

Coriolis deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

Weather occurs mainly in the troposphere, the lowest atmospheric layer.
