- Depressions form over the Atlantic ocean, then move east over the UK- Depressions form when warm air meets cold air:
- Warm , moist air from the tropics meets cold, dry air from the poles
- The warm air then rises above the cold air because it is less dense
- Condensation occurs as the warm air rises, causing rain clouds to develop
- Rising air also causes low pressure at the Earth's surface
- So winds blow into the depression in a spiral - winds always blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
- A warm front is the front edge…
