How does Pressure affect our weather?

AKM

Weather is simple what the air or atmosphere is like that at that time. No matter what the air is – cold, cool, warm, hot, calm, breezy, windy, dry, moist, or wet – that is still weather.

Air pressure differs across all parts of the Earth’s surface and this difference causes winds. Air will move from an area of high pressure, or an anticyclone to an area of low pressure or a depression.

Depression are usually associated with bad weather conditions and rain. These changes in air pressure can be measured by an instrument call barometer.

When meteorologists talk about a weather front, they are referring to the boundary between two masses of air at different temperatures and pressures. Increasingly accurate forecasting is now possible with aid of satellites and computer technology.

How does Earthquake occur?

The Earth’s crust is made up of about 30 huge plates, called tectonic plates, that float on the semi-liquid mantle surrounding the Earth’s core. There are currents and movements in the mantle, so these plates move very slowly in relation to each other. Earthquakes are evidence of this movement. Most […]
