Factors that can shape climate are often called climate forcings. These include such processes as variations in solar radiation, deviations in the Earth's orbit, mountain-building and continental drift, and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that can either amplify or diminish the initial forcing. Some parts of the climate system, such as the oceans and ice caps, respond slowly in reaction to climate forcing because of their large mass. Therefore, the climate system can take centuries or longer to fully respond to new external forcings

When air pressure is low is the weather sunny and bright?

No. Generally low pressure brings clouds and precipitation.


Low pressure usually brings what type of weather?

Low pressure usually brings stormy weather. The clouds hang over and area for a period of time and then the rain and storm begins.


Is precipitate physical change?

Precipitation in weather terms (rain, snow, etc.) is a physical process. Precipitation in chemical terms (e.g. lead iodide falling out of solution) is a chemical change.


What type of weather do the 4 types of fronts cause?

A warm front brings warm air and typically results in steady precipitation. A cold front brings cold air and can cause brief, intense storms. A stationary front can lead to prolonged periods of precipitation and overcast conditions. An occluded front involves three air masses and can produce a mix of weather conditions, such as storms and precipitation.


What type of front is the intensity of precipitation generally heavy and short lived?

The type of front where the intensity of precipitation is generally heavy and short-lived is called a cold front. As a cold front passes through an area, it typically brings a rapid change in weather conditions, leading to intense precipitation for a brief period of time.


Why does a change in air pressure tell you about the weather?

A change in air pressure indicates a change in the atmosphere's density, which can be associated with different weather conditions. For example, high pressure typically brings clear and dry weather, while low pressure is often linked to cloudy skies and precipitation. Monitoring air pressure can help predict changes in the weather.


What kind of weather does high pressure and low pressure bring?

High pressure brings clear weather and low pressure brings precipitous weather. (rain, snow, hail, sleet, etc.)


What weather is it with high pressure?

High pressure typically brings clear skies and fair weather conditions. This often means sunny days, light winds, and low chances of precipitation.


What kind of weather a stationary front brings.?

A stationary front will bring several days of cloudy, wet weather.


How does precipitation affect humans?

Precipitation brings rain. It supplies water to humans.


Is precipitation a climate or weather word?

Precipitation has to do with weather, or in another sense, it has to do with chemistry.


The weather behind a cold front is dominated by?

The weather behind a cold front is often characterized by cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and clear skies. It typically brings in a change in wind direction and possibly some precipitation, such as rain or snow showers, as the front passes through an area.
