= Did you know? = =//Chapter 2 in our Earth's Atmosphere book is all about weather patterns. Check it out, beginning on page 40!//= = = =What makes weather? The big idea here, according to our text book, is that some features of weather have predictable patterns. We can predict weather because we know that:=
 * 1) =The atmosphere's air pressure changes.=
 * 2) =The atmosphere has wind patterns.=
 * 3) =Most clouds form as air rises and cools.=
 * 4) =Water falls to Earth's surface as precipitation.=

1. The atmosphere's air pressure changes.
We begin studying weather by learning about air pressure.
