For every one millibar decrease in pressure the sea rises 1 centimeter.

If the UK faces strong winds, extremely low pressure and a storm surge during the high tide, it could raise the sea level around eastern England by more than 2 meters. Which means that towns and villages in north Norfolk, plus King's Lynn in west Norfolk, are considered to be at risk from tidal flooding.

air pressure is the pressure created by air due to gravity. earth's gravity is not stable thats why some time people fall, becasue teh sudden change in teh pressure around them. when u travel to area's higher the less pressure you have. thats why some time people like chris angle can do levitation tricks.

Air pressure is the weight of the air above a given point. This changes everyday at the surface and is different at different locations....Also, the pressure falls as you go upward into the atmosphere.

Air pressure is how hard the air molocules are pushing on a certain area at a certain time. The lower the air pressure, the softer the molocules are pushing. Or the other way around.
