Atmospheric Pressure Systems

Atmospheric pressure systems are areas where the weight of the air influences weather patterns. High-pressure systems, with sinking air, typically bring clear, stable weather, while low-pressure systems involve rising air, often leading to clouds and storms. These systems move across the Earth's surface, driving wind, rain, and temperature changes. Their interactions and movements govern daily weather, shaping patterns from sunshine to storms, and are fundamental to understanding the atmosphere's behavior and its impact on the environment.
