How does air pressure affect the formation of severe weather?.

Sagot :

The air is lighter than the surrounding air masses so it rises, causing an unstable environment. Rising air makes the water vapor in the air condense and form clouds and rain for example. Low pressure systems lead to active weather like wind and rain, and also severe weather.

With high pressure, sinking air suppresses weather development. High air pressure produces clear sky, dry and stable weather. In a low pressure zone, wind is circulated inwards and upwards rapidly. As a result, air rises and cools; clouds and precipitate are formed.
