You are recording the barometric pressure each day for your science class. You observe cumulonimbus clouds and much lower pressure than previous days. What is your prediction?
Uneven heating of Earth's surface as air moves from high to low pressure.
It is probably going to precipitate.
abyssal plain
Liquid fresh water, frozen fresh water, salt water
Land cools off faster at night. Water cools off slowly and tends to be warmer at night.
Land is colder at night with higher pressure. This cool air blows to warmer, low pressure ocean.
