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.

Does wind occurs as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure?

Winds occur as air moves from high pressure to low pressure.Wind occurs as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure is a true statement.


When air pressure is high the weather is usually sunny and bright -- true or false?

True. High air pressure usually indicates stable, dry air which is associated with clear skies and sunny weather.


Is the following true or false falling air pressure usually indicates that a storm is approaching?

True. Falling air pressure is typically associated with the approach of a storm because it signifies the movement of low-pressure systems, which are often associated with stormy weather conditions. Rising air pressure, on the other hand, usually indicates fair weather.


Is it true that atmospheric pressure decreases with increased altitude?

Yes, it is true that atmospheric pressure decreases with increased altitude. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below as you go higher in the atmosphere. This is why it becomes harder to breathe at high altitudes due to the lower pressure.


Earths surface winds generally blow from regions of higher air temp to lower temp true or false?

True. Winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to low pressure. In general, air moves from regions of higher air temperature to lower air temperature to balance out the pressure differences, creating wind patterns.
