What atmospheric conditions must occur to cause a barometer to rise?
To cause a barometer to rise, high pressure and sinking air must dominate the atmosphere. High pressure occurs when air is sinking and compressing, leading to clear skies and generally fair weather conditions. This sinking air prevents the formation of clouds and causes the barometric pressure to rise.
Winds form in response to the?
Wind is caused from the way the radiation from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The air is unevenly absorbed, which causes the hot air to rise and the colder air to sink. The air rising causes the pressure of the atmosphere to drop, the sinking of the air causes lower atmospheric pressure. Whenever the air moves from high to low pressure area, it creates wind.
What is the name for vertically rising or sinking air?
Rising and sinking air is called up draft and down draft, respectively.
What sudden change in air pressure causes movement?
The movement of pressure systems; highs and lows. When a low approaches, which is an area of rising air, pressures fall and when a high approaches, which is an area of sinking air, pressures rise.
When it is cloudy is air sinking or rising?
rising
Strong updrafts and warm air sinking cause what?
it causes strong winds
What happens to the temperature of sinking air?
Well, if the air is sinking then the temperature is dropping since hot air rises. When cool air comes down, if it comes down too fast, the hot air and cold air "clash" and that's what causes fog.
How do convection cells in Earth's atmosphere cause high pressure belts?
Areas of rising air causes low air pressure areas where as areas of sinking air are areas of high air pessure.
What are the type of air movements that form winds and that forms clouds?
the unequal heating of the earth's surface causes wind (warm air rising and cold air sinking), and evaporation creates clouds.

What is the nae of the prossoe of warm air rising asnd cool air sinking?
The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current

What usually keeps rain from forming around highs?
High pressure of sinking air causes high pressure of evaporation to take place
What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?
Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.
What is the relation between rising and sinking material in the earths interior and subduction and rifting?
Rising materials causes rifting; sinking material causes subduction.
