Question

What is a low pressure system?

Answer 1

A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.

Explanation:

• Wind flow towards the low pressure and the air rises in the atmosphere. As the air increases, the water vapor within it solidifies, forming clouds and undergo precipitation. Low pressure formed in the center areas.

• The atmospheric circulations of air up and down in a low-pressure area remove a small amount of atmosphere. This usually happens between warm and cold air masses by flowing air which tries to reduce the contrast of temperature.
