What to Focus On

  • Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air column above a place.
  • Standard sea-level pressure is 76 cm or 760 mm of mercury, equal to 1013.25 millibars.
  • 1 millibar = force of 1 gram per square centimetre.

  • Higher temperature usually means lower pressure.
  • Lower temperature usually means higher pressure.
  • Dry air is heavier than moist air.

  • Pressure changes with height and latitude.
  • There are seven global pressure belts.
  • Equatorial low and polar highs are thermally induced.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Dry air is lighter than moist air, so moist air must create higher pressure.

Atmospheric pressure is the same everywhere, so maps only show temperature differences.

As altitude increases, pressure may increase because there is more space for air to spread out.
