28. 39. What instrument measures air pressure? What unit is used?
Barometer, millibars
40. How does elevation affect air pressure?
As elevation increases, pressure decreases
41. Which is more dense: cold air or hot air?
cold
42. Which has more air pressure: cold air or hot air?
Cold

29. This is because the air is Therefore, clouds CANNOT form.
43.
In a high pressure area,
air will (rise, sink)
because the air is
(less, more) dense.
This is because the air is
(cold, warm)
and (rises, sinks).
Therefore, clouds CANNOT form.

30. This is because the air is
44.
In a low pressure area,
air will (rise, sink)
because the air is
(less, more) dense.
This is because the air is
(cold, warm)
and (rises, sinks).
Therefore, clouds are
LIKELY to form.

33. 47. Sea Breeze (daytime) H L
Which type of breeze is represented in the
diagram below?
Where is the high pressure area?
Where is the low pressure area?

Sea Breeze (daytime) H L

34. 48. Land Breeze (night time) L H
Which type of breeze is represented in the
diagram below?
Where is the high pressure area?
Where is the low pressure area?
48.
Land Breeze (night time) L H

35. 49. How are weather conditions in a high pressure system different than those in a low pressure system?
High pressure = clear, fair weather
Low pressure = cloudy, rainy
50. Describe wind direction in a high pressure system.
51. Why do global winds curve?
Because the earth rotates

36. 52. What instrument is used to measure:
