Question

Barometers have long been used to predict the weather. Jay and Jeff were responsible for recording the class weather data each day in March. One day, they noticed that there was a rapid change in the barometric pressure. The barometric pressure dropped down very, very quickly. What type of weather could Jay and Jeff expect soon? A) fog B) rain C) clearing D) drop in temperature

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have rain. You would have clouds, precipitation, and strong winds.

Answer 2

B) rain

Step-by-step explanation:

The barometer is a device that is used to measure atmospheric pressure and, consequently, the height at which someone rises, as well as to approximately predict atmospheric changes. Thus, a rising barometer indicates an increase in air pressure, whereas a falling barometer indicates a decrease in air pressure.

In environments with low atmospheric pressure and, therefore, heat, the heated air tends to rise and, when reaching higher altitudes, condenses, forms clouds and precipitates. In this situation, the barometric pressure drops very, very quickly, indicating that a rain is coming.
