    Air pressure readings from barometers are shown on weather maps with lines called isobars that connect areas of equal air pressure. Isobars help predict weather changes by indicating high and low pressure systems, with low pressure areas likely to have stormy weather and high pressure areas likely to be fair. The document is a worksheet asking students to answer questions about air pressure readings on a sample weather map by referring to isobars and listed pressure values.

    Isobars and Air Pressure


    Air pressure is an important factor affecting weather. Changes in air pressure help weather
    forecasters predict how the weather will change. Air pressure readings from barometers are
    shown on weather maps, like the one below, with lines called isobars. Isobars are drawn to
    connect areas that have the same air pressure.

    Refer to the map to complete the following statements.


    1. Each isobar differs from the next isobar by ____________________ millibars.
    2. The lowest air pressure reading on the map is ___________________ millibars.
    3. Where this low pressure occurs, the weather is likely to be _______________
    4. The highest air pressure reading on the map is ___________________ miflibars.
    5. This high-pressure area is likely to be experiencing _________________ weather.
    6. An area of ___________________ air pressure is centered northwest of Chicago.
    7. The air pressure in Chicago is about ___________________ milLibars.
    8. The air pressure in Los Angeles is about __________________ millibars.
    9. The air pressure in New York City is about _________________ millibars.
    10. Most of Florida has a barometric pressure between about 1008 millibars and _________
    millibars.
