What is atmospheric pressure?
The force exerted by the weight of air above a given point.
How does air move in winds?
Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, creating winds.
What are storms?
Storms are disturbances in the atmosphere that can bring high winds, heavy rain, and other extreme weather conditions.
What are the effects of pressure on weather?
Variations in atmospheric pressure can lead to different weather patterns, including clear skies or storms.
Define cyclone.
A cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system that is characterized by low pressure at its center.
What role do temperature gradients play in wind formation?
Differences in temperature create pressure differences, which drive the movement of air (winds).
