🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between barometric pressure and general weather trends • Difference between a rapid pressure rise and a slow pressure rise • How high pressure vs low pressure systems** typically affect weather

💭 Think About

• Think about what kind of weather is usually associated with high pressure compared to low pressure. • Consider what a slow and steady rise in pressure suggests about how fast the weather pattern is changing. • Ask yourself: does a rising barometer usually point toward storms and rain, or toward calmer, more settled conditions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which type of weather system (high or low pressure) is linked with rising barometric pressure. • Confirm whether stormy / rainy conditions are typically associated with rising or falling pressure. • Check if a slow rise suggests sudden worsening weather, or gradual stabilization of conditions.
