Question
Measured by a _________
_________that air exerts as it is being pulled to Earth by gravity.
Two kinds of air pressure systems
High-pressure system (_________ on a weather map)
Low-pressure system (_________ on a weather map)
Watch the video to see how the air pressure system changes on a weather map.
High Pressure System
Surface air moves _________, and the air above sinks toward the _________.
The higher you go the colder the temperatures get.
The air that sinks warms up
Water droplets evaporate in the warmer air which results in _________ days.
Low Pressure System
Surface air moves _________the low pressure from all sides.
As it converges into one area it is forced to _________.
The higher you go the colder the temperatures get and colder air holds less water vapor.
The vapor then condenses into water droplets that form _________.
Results in _________ days with rain or snow. Severe weather such as blizzards and hurricanes form as well.

Measured by a **barometer**, **the force** that air exerts as it is being pulled to Earth by gravity.
Two kinds of air pressure systems:
High-pressure system (**H** on a weather map)
Low-pressure system (**L** on a weather map)
Watch the video to see how the air pressure system changes on a weather map.
**High Pressure System**
Surface air moves **outward**, and the air above sinks toward the **ground**.
The higher you go, the colder the temperatures get.
The air that sinks warms up.
Water droplets evaporate in the warmer air, which results in **clear** days.
**Low Pressure System**
Surface air moves **toward** the low pressure from all sides.
As it converges into one area, it is forced to **rise**.
The higher you go, the colder the temperatures get, and colder air holds less water vapor.
The vapor then condenses into water droplets that form **clouds**.
Results in **cloudy** days with rain or snow. Severe weather such as blizzards and hurricanes form as well.
