Explain what occurs in low pressure systems that causes a lot of precipitation to form?

In a low pressure system, the high temperature causes the air to rise creating a partial vacuum. Air from surrounding regions rushes in to fill the vacuum. If the incoming air passes over large water bodies, it brings moisture with it and causes precipitation.

What kind of weather would be cause by a drop in air pressure?
Generally, a drop in air pressure causes precipitation - rain, snow, sleet, hail, and so forth.
What chemical reaction causes precipitation?
This is a precipitation reaction.
What causes the air in both low and high pressure systems to move to the right?
movement of weather fronts
Explain how local geography can influence the local pattern of precipitation?
Another way winds influence precipitation patterns is by going over mountains. When air masses go over over mountains, they cool as they rise over the mountains. As they cool cool they can no longer hold as much moisture as when they were warmer, this causes cloud development and precipitation.
Explain why increasing the temperature of a gas in closed rigid container causes the pressure in the container to increase?
Because the pressure increases The real answer is: Charles's Law. He found that if you increase the temperature of a constant pressure the volume increases also.
What causes increases in barometric pressures?
Low and high pressure systems. Obviously if you have a Low pressure system the barometric pressure will get low. High pressure causes the barometric pressure to rise.
What causes air pressure differences?
Unequal heating of the Earth - this causes Winds; because the air pressure has to where it can [is allowed to] go and that is why their are differences in air pressure. Low pressure systems are the active features of the Atmosphere - because High pressure systems occur wherever Lows do not.
How does unequal heating affect wind patterns?
hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.
What causes wheather movement?
The movement of wheather fronts from high pressure (cyclone) to low pressure systems(anticyclone).
How does unequal heating affect global wind pattern?
hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.
What causes differences in air pressure?
the uneven heating
What kind of weather would be cause by a drop in air pressure?
Generally, a drop in air pressure causes precipitation - rain, snow, sleet, hail, and so forth.
What chemical reaction causes precipitation?
This is a precipitation reaction.
What are the causes and consequence of shifting of pressure belts?
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
What type of system causes a tornado?
Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, which are generally associated with low pressure systems.
What causes the air in both low and high pressure systems to move to the right?
movement of weather fronts
How does precipitation affect climate?
If the precipitation is increasing, causes to have more flood and affects all living organism and causes some destroy too.
