Pressure Systems
Continuing on page 49 in your notebook, answer the third part of "What do you already know about Air Masses, Fronts, and Pressure Systems?"
Part 3 Write the statement, then fill the in blank with "true" if the statement is true, or "false" if the statement is false.
___________ 1. High pressures are associated with fair weather.
___________ 2. Areas of low air pressure are often characterized by light winds and clear skies.
___________ 3. A warm front often leads a low pressure, while a cold front follows it.

Notes on Pressure Systems:
Draw a picture of a high and low pressure. Include the "H" and the "L", the direction the air moves around the pressure system, and whether the air is converging (moving downward) or diverging (moving upward).
