low-pressure zones

Low-pressure zones are areas in the atmosphere where the air pressure is lower than the surrounding regions. They typically form when warm air rises, creating a void that cooler air rushes in to fill. This rising air can lead to cloud formation and precipitation, making low-pressure zones often associated with storms and rainy weather. They play a crucial role in weather patterns and can influence how air moves, leading to wind and changes in temperature. Understanding these zones helps meteorologists predict weather and atmospheric conditions effectively.
