The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) occurs when the embolism causes an obstruction or occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches‚ which in turn reverts pressure on the right ventricle. A solid

Describe how atmospheric circulation gives rise to the formation of high and low pressure area? The origins of the creation of areas of differing pressures can be seen to start with the sun.

Between 450 North and 300 South there is a positive heat budget whereas outside these regions
