Question 1293Navigation General70% to pass
As a high pressure system approaches, the barometer reading _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) rises.
As a high pressure system approaches, the barometric pressure increases, causing the barometer reading to rise. This is because high pressure systems are associated with stable, dry weather conditions, which lead to an increase in the atmospheric pressure.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
A) The barometer reading would not fall rapidly as a high pressure system approaches, but rather rise.
B) The barometer reading does not stay the same as a high pressure system approaches, but rather rises.
C) The barometer reading does not simply fall as a high pressure system approaches, but rather rises.
