Air Pressure
In general, the force inserted by the air above the Earth is termed as air pressure. However, the air doesn’t exert equal amount of pressure on every parts of the Earth’s surface.
Scientists have discovered that the whole Earth’s surface is covered with areas of high air pressure and low air pressure. This phenomenon generally depends on two factors – altitude and temperature.
You probably can easily understand why altitude has an impact on air pressure. The area that is low-lying, pressure should be higher there simply because of greater amount of air compared to higher areas. So, air pressure at the sea level is the highest and it decreases gradually with altitude.
On the other hand, temperature also affects the air pressure to a great amount. We all have learned from our primary level science books that hot air is lighter than cold air. So, the air pressure must be lower in a hot area than a comparatively colder area.
As I’ve told you earlier, these areas of high pressure and low pressure cover the whole world. So, it is needless to say that air pressure plays a great role in the evolution of weather.
Before I jump into how does air pressure affect the weather, I want to take few more moments to clarify high and low pressure a little more. It’ll help you to understand the process very clearly and easily.
