Barometers have long been used to predict the weather. jay and jeff were responsible for recording the class weather data each day in march. one day, they noticed that there was a rapid change in the barometric pressure. the barometric pressure dropped down very, very quickly. what type of weather could jay and jeff expect soon? a) fog b) rain c) clearing d) drop in temperature

B) rain

Explanation:

The barometer is a device that is used to measure atmospheric pressure and, consequently, the height at which someone rises, as well as to approximately predict atmospheric changes. Thus, a rising barometer indicates an increase in air pressure, whereas a falling barometer indicates a decrease in air pressure.

In environments with low atmospheric pressure and, therefore, heat, the heated air tends to rise and, when reaching higher altitudes, condenses, forms clouds and precipitates. In this situation, the barometric pressure drops very, very quickly, indicating that a rain is coming.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
