Air pressure refers to the weight of the Earth's atmosphere pressing down on surfaces. The average air pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa or 14.696 lbs/sq2. We can survive this pressure because our bodies evolved under these conditions. Air pressure varies slightly over Earth's surface and these variations cause weather patterns like storms and hurricanes associated with low pressure areas. High and low pressure areas cause winds as high pressure seeks to equalize with low pressure areas.

- 11. and : we use and to connect the same word, phrase, or sentence. For example: Atmospheric pressure varies slightly over the Earth's surface, and variations in pressure are responsible for the weather that we are so familiar with. Low pressure is associated with storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
- 12. because : we use because when the sentences are cause and effect of each other. For example: We are able to survive this pressure because our bodies (and all life) evolved in an environment where it is omnipresent.

- 14. Text Air pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure, refers to the weight of the Earth's atmosphere pressing down on everything at the surface. The average air pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa (1013.25 millibar), or 14.696 lbs/sq2 (1.0333 kg/cm2). Basically, this means hundreds of pounds of pressure are pressing at you from all sides and at all times. We are able to survive this pressure because our bodies (and all life) evolved in an environment where it is omnipresent. If the pressure is increased or decreased too much, we perish.
- 15. With pressure, as with a lot of things, it's all relative. Air pressure is why high-pressure machinery, such as hydraulics, require high structural integrity to contain the material pressure has a tendency to equalize. It is also partially responsible for the phrase "nature abhors a vacuum," meaning a vacuum is hard to sustain under the pressure of Earth's atmosphere. Atmospheric pressure varies slightly over the Earth's surface, and variations in pressure are responsible for the weather that we are so familiar with. Low pressure is associated with storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Sometimes the air pressure at sea level can drop as low as 870 millibars, 85% of average air pressure. This only happens during the most severe storms. Pressure variations on the Earth surface cause wind: high pressure areas have a tendency to seek out low pressure areas, causing gusts.
