When a meteorologist reports precipitation in the weather forecast, this is
usually associated with a low-pressure system. Go through the following
activity to explain why precipitation would be associated with a low
atmospheric pressure.
Air that is saturated or contains water vapor will have more water and
[ Select ]
v dry air in the overall mixture compared to
dry air. This causes the overall density of the air to
[ Select ]
V. The air will be
[ Select ]
dense than dry air and the atmospheric
pressure will be [Select]
than dry air.
