Low Atmospheric Pressure Areas (Depressions/Cyclones)

  • Air rises.

  • Rising air cools and condenses.

  • Forms clouds and precipitation.

  • Causes unstable weather: rain, clouds, and wind.

  • Winds blow inwards:

    • Counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

    • Clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

New cards

High Atmospheric Pressure Areas (Anticyclones)

  • Air sinks.

  • Sinking air warms and dries.

  • Prevents cloud formation.

  • Causes stable, clear, calm weather.

  • Winds blow outwards:

    • Clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

    • Counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
