Question 1
Perhaps more than any other single measurement, atmospheric pressure is the best indicator of current and changing weather conditions." Explain and discuss why this statement is correct. Provide some examples. (Hint: discuss the differences in high pressure and low pressure systems. How does each affect the local and regional weather? How is air affected by air pressure?)
Question 2
Why are coastal and mountainous regions often much more windy than other locations at similar latitudes? Are there other weather characteristics that are perhaps unique or different for these areas?
