Hurricanes are large circular storms that are formed over warm ocean water.
Hurricanes have winds that have a speed of 75 mph or more. The picture to the left shows a hurricane. Notice that the storm circulates around a central point in the center of the storm. This central point is called the eye of the storm.
Hurricanes form over the warm water of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. They are most common during the summer months of August and September.

What type of air pressure do clear skies indicate?
low pressure
What happens to a barometer when a cold front comes in?
decreasing
Does hot air have low pressure?
Hot air tends to have lower pressure than cold air. This is because as air heats up, its molecules move faster and spread out, decreasing the air density and resulting in lower pressure.
Why is the air pressure higher when you get closer to the ground?
Air pressure increases with decreasing altitude because the weight of the air above pushes down on the air below, compressing it. This compression causes the air molecules to be closer together, increasing the pressure.
What happens to an aneriod barometer when air pressure changes?
When air pressure increases, the aneroid barometer contracts, causing the needle to move clockwise or indicate a higher pressure reading. Conversely, when air pressure decreases, the aneroid barometer expands, causing the needle to move counterclockwise or indicate a lower pressure reading.
When the barometer is dropping air pressure is .?
decreasing
Air pressure is decreasing what kind of weather?
When the pressure is decreasing, what is likely happening is that air mass is getting less stable. So if the trend continues, expect the weather to become more unsettled. This could mean an increase ins surface winds, more clouds in the sky, or may precipitation may occur in the near future.
What conditions can be caused by increasing or decreasing the pressure on air mass?
air mas
Centimeters of mercury falling?
This is an indication that the air pressure is decreasing.
When barometer is dropping the air pressure is?

How does altitude affect the density and pressure of air?
Altitude affects density and pressure by decreasing when it increases.
When the barometer is dropping what is the air pressure doing?
increasing

What does a decrease in the height of a column in a mercury barometer mean?
air pressure is decreasing
What happens to a barometer when a cold front comes in?

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction?
Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather. Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.
