Question

In a ______________ system, the surface air moves toward the low pressure from all sides. It is forced to rise as it converges on one area. The air at these higher altitudes is colder. The colder air holds less water vapor. Low-pressure systems result in clouds and can be associated with rain and snow. In some circumstances, low-pressure systems may cause severe storms like hurricanes or ___________________.

Answer 1

In a low-pressure system, the surface air moves toward the low pressure from all sides. It is forced to rise as it converges on one area. The air at these higher altitudes is colder. The colder air holds less water vapor. Low-pressure systems result in clouds and can be associated with rain and snow. In some circumstances, low-pressure systems may cause severe storms like hurricanes or cyclones.
