Atmospheric pressure is the ____________________ exerted at a specific point on the Earth's surface by the ____________________ of the air above it . Areas of high pressure are called ____________________ . Areas of low pressure are called ____________________ .
FACTORS AFFECTING PRESSURE
? Altitude : pressure is ____________________ in a low - lying area because there is ____________________ air above it .
? Temperature : pressure is ____________________ in a hot zone because hot air weighs ____________________ than cold air .
Anticyclones produce ____________________ , stable weather and ____________________ skies because the wind always moves form ____________________ pressure to low pressure so it can't bring any ____________________ inside . Moreover , in high pressure areas the air is ____________________ than in a low pressure area , so it can't ascend , get colder and form ____________________ .
Depressions produce ____________________ weather , rain and storms because the wind always moves form high pressure to low pressure , so it can bring clouds inside . Moreover , in low pressure areas the air is ____________________ than in high pressure areas , so it ____________________ , gets colder and forms clouds .
