8. What causes the eardrums to pop?Change in air pressure.9. When do eardrums pop in?When air pressure changes from low to high.10. When do eardrums pop out?When air pressure changes From high to low.11. What is the relationship between

altitude and air pressure?Higher altitude has lower air pressure.

12. How do cyclones form?

Rising warm air and sinking cold air causes the air to spin counterclockwise in the Northern hemisphere.

The lines around the H and L are called ISOBARS. Isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure.

Isobars Increasing by 4 towards the center. H

Isobars decreasing by 4 towards the center. L

Cold Front

H

13.What are the air pressures towards H? What is the interval between air pressures?

14.What are the air pressures towards L? What is the interval between air pressures?

15. What do you call the lines of equal atmospheric pressure?

16. How do you use the isobars to find the windy areas?

Windy area because the isobars are near each other.

Not windy area because the isobars are far from each other.

The closer the isobars from each other the stronger the winds in the area.

17. What is Atmospheric Pressure?

the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level has a mean value of 101,325 pascals (roughly 14.6959 pounds per square inch). Also called barometric pressure.http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/

The lines around the H and L are called ISOBARS. Isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure.

Your eardrum pops inward when you go down, and outward when you go up. The change in air pressure as you go up or as you go down is responsible for the popping of eardrums.
