    contracts when it cools and expands when it is heated. So if air above a region of Earth cools‚ it does not extend to as high an altitude as the surrounding air. In this case‚ its pressure at higher temperature is lower than in the surroundings even when the pressure at the surface is the same as in surrounding areas. Then air flows into the cooler region at high altitude‚ making the total weight of air above the region greater than in the surroundings. This is a "high". The cool air descends to the
