Question
Chapter 11, Problem 5E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of pressure on the weather is to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Air pressure varies with height. The highest air pressure is observed at sea level, gradually decreasing with altitude. Therefore, the weather varies with height. An anticyclone region experiences stable weather whereas depressions bring about unstable weather.
