Low pressure and high pressure are not absolute. You find those pressures at any place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

Does the atmosphere cause water level to rise up?
It can do. Winds in the atmosphere cause waves. Also the low pressure in the centre of a depression can cause a elevation in sea level called a storm surge.
How is low pressure area developed?
A low pressure area is caused by a drop in temperature in the atmosphere.
Where does low pressure go in the atmosphere?
down
Does water boil at a lower level above sea level?
First understand that the boiling of water occurs when the energy of water molecules is equal to the vapour pressure... (i.e energy of water is equal to the external pressure due to the atmosphere)... above sea level the atmospheric pressure is lower hence low energy is required... hence water boil at low temperature...
What planet has an atmosphere has low air and mostly carbon?
Mars has an atmosphere with low air pressure which is mostly carbon dioxide.
When it rains what kind of pressure is in the atmosphere?
Rain most often occurs with low pressure.
Do low pressure areas lead to thunderstorms?
Low pressure systems often produce thunderstorms if the atmosphere is unstable enough.
Which inner planet has an atmosphere with low air pressure?
Mars
What is low atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air in the earths atmosphere that is above you. At sea level this pressure is said to be 1 bar or one atmosphere. Now, as you go up a mountain there is less air above you and thus the atmospheric pressure is less and the pressure you experience because of your altitude is said to be your local atmospheric pressure. However, the earths atmosphere is heated by the sun and moves in eddies to the poles where it is cooled and flows back to the equator - this is called the weather. When you have hot air above you it is less heavy than cold air so, as the atmosphere blows over you, the pressure of the air changes and you can work out if the air above you is hot or cold by comparing the measure you measure against your local atmospheric pressure.
How do high pressure belts form?
They form because of high and low pressure in the atmosphere.
Atmosphere has low air pressure and is mostly carbon dioxide?
mars
Why does Mars have low atmospheric pressure?
Mars has a low atmospheric pressure reading because there is a lighter atmosphere, which means less air, which means less weight or pressure.
