Insights and Reflections about Low Pressure Area (LPA)

Today, I have learned that a low-pressure area, low or depression,   is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lowest with relation to the surrounding area. It is an area of low  atmospheric pressure that has a closed counter-clockwise circulation  in the Northern Hemisphere. It is also known as a cyclone which is usually characterized by clouds of  precipitation caused by rising air; often related to inclement weather such as winds flowing counter clockwise and into the center of the low.

Low-pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence which occur in upper levels of the troposphere. The formation process of a low-pressure area is known as cyclogenesis.

I will apply my learnings about this phenomenon in a way that I must be alert and aware of the possibilities that may happen when there’s a Low Pressure Area near our country.

 Learnings about this phenomenon are important because we can prepare ourselves whenever there’s a Low Pressure Area near our country.  

            On a larger scale, I will share my learnings in this phenomenon to help others be aware and be safe during phenomenon.

            I need to know more about the factors that contribute to the formation of low pressure area and how it can affect our weather.
