In a world where the perception of pressure is reversed, so that high pressure feels like a light breeze and low pressure feels like a forceful wind, Maritza and Kwame are standing on opposite sides of an open field. A storm is approaching, bringing with it a low-pressure system. As the storm gets closer, what does each person feel, and who is likely to adjust their clothing first in response to the changing pressure? Provide a very brief response.
Maritza and Kwame will feel an intense 'wind' as the low-pressure system approaches because their perception of pressure is reversed. The closer the storm gets, the stronger the 'wind' they will feel. Even though it is just a change in pressure and not an actual increase in wind velocity, they will perceive it as a forceful gust. Since the storm is approaching and the pressure is dropping, they will feel as if the wind is picking up. Consequently, the person on the side of the field directly facing the oncoming storm will perceive the strongest 'wind' first. This person, likely Maritza or Kwame, depending on the storm's direction, will adjust their clothing before the other to prevent it from being 'blown away' by the perceived high 'winds' of the low-pressure system.
