Question 1317Navigation General70% to pass
A decrease in barometric pressure is associated with all of the following except _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) clear dry weather.
A decrease in barometric pressure is associated with proximity to a low pressure area (A), inward spiraling circulation (B), and rising warm air (D). These conditions typically bring cloudy, unsettled weather. However, a decrease in barometric pressure is not associated with clear dry weather, which is the opposite of what happens when pressure drops.
The other answer choices are correct because low pressure systems, the resulting inward air circulation, and rising warm air are all factors that contribute to overcast, potentially stormy conditions, not clear and dry weather.
