Answer:
1. The Equatorial region receives a great amount of heat throughout the year. Warm air being light, the air at the Equator rises, creating low pressure. At the poles the cold heavy air causes high pressure to be created/formed. It is also due to the rotation of the earth.
2.A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, also called barometric pressure.
