After high pressure areas are created around the poles cold polar air flows toward?

The low pressure area at the Equator.


Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?

No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.


Do fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high or low pressure?

Fluids tend to move toward low pressure areas.


High pressure areas are created around the poles as cold air?

It RISES...


How are winds affected by areas of high pressure?

In zones where air ascends, the air is less dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of low pressure. Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and so the surface winds would tend to blow toward a low pressure center. In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the southern hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.


Do areas of low pressure spin around regions of high pressure?

No. The paths of low pressure systems can be affected by high pressure areas, but they do not revolve around them. A low pressure area rotates about its own center of lowest pressure.


How does the low pressure associtated with a hurricane help them grow big and powerful?

Air in the atmosphere tends to move toward low-pressure regions, which would increase the winds surrounding a hurricane. Air in the atmosphere moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air rushing toward a hurricane causes the hurricane to grow in size and strength.


What kind of currents cause wind?

Winds are caused by differences in air pressure not currents. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure.


What direction does the wind blow?

A southeast wind is from the southeast toward the northwest.
