Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thermal low forms in a region of warm air, and its lowest pressure is at the center. It forms in response to variations in surface air temperature, but it becomes weaker (not stronger) with increasing height. The opposite is true for a low-pressure system that forms due to synoptic-scale weather patterns.
