atmospheric pressure and precipitation
Atmospheric pressure refers to the force exerted by the air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere on a given surface. It is commonly measured using a barometer and is crucial in understanding and predicting weather patterns. Precipitation refers to any form of water, in either liquid or solid state, that falls from the atmosphere and reaches the Earth's surface. It includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail, and plays a vital role in the water cycle and agriculture.
