How do the following elements influence the weather of a place : 1. temperature 2. pressure? |
|
Answer» 1. Temperature: when the temperature of place increases, the air gets heated, expands and rises. This leads to a decrease in air pressure in the area. when the temperature falls, the air gets cold,contracts, and contracts, and descends downwards. This leads to an increase in air pressure. Thus, air pressure decreases with an increase in temperature. This is the reason why areas close to the equator generally have low air pressure. 2. Pressure : Atmospheric pressure is the pressure that the atmopshere exerts on the surface of the earth because of its weight. There is a close relationship between pressure and temperature — high temperature means low pressure and vice versa. Pressure difference causes horizontal movement of air called wind and vertical movement of air called current, which together cause circulation of air in the atmosphere. |
