Q

As a high-pressure system approaches, which is TRUE concerning the barometer reading?

🔍 Key Concepts

• High-pressure system characteristics in marine weather • Relationship between air pressure and approaching weather systems • Typical barometric trends when fair weather is coming vs when storms are approaching

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of weather a high-pressure system usually brings and how barometric pressure behaves before fair weather arrives. • Compare what happens to the barometer when a low-pressure system approaches versus a high-pressure system. • Ask yourself: if air is pressing down more strongly on the surface, what would the barometer do?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether high pressure is associated with good or bad weather. • Recall whether falling pressure is usually tied to worsening or improving conditions. • Consider whether changes are typically gradual or rapid when a large high-pressure system approaches.
