Is rising air associated with a low pressure cell?
First answer was incorrect (in this thread)....Here's the breakdown:Regions of sinking air are called highs, high pressure regions or anticyclones. Clear skies and fair weather usually occur in these regions.Regions of rising air are called lows, low pressure regions, depressions or cyclones. Clouds rain and strong winds often occur in these regions.
Is it called low pressure when there is sinking dry air weather and few clouds?
No, that's high pressure. High pressure has sinking air and fair weather. Low pressure is rising air and usually brings lots of clouds and precipitation.
How are crustal plates moved?
It is causes by Bobby Chen jumping up and down
Is air rising or sinking at low pressure belts?
Air usually rises at low pressure areas
What is Sinking air dry weather few clouds?
high pressure.
What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?
Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.
What are the name of currents set up by saltwater sinking and rising in the ocean?
it is ocean currents
What is the sinking of regions of the crust of the elevations?
?
What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
What kind of currents are caused by saltier heavier water sinking and less salty water rising?
Deep. nova netThe currents caused by something like saltier water sinking and less salty water rising are called density currents.

Deep ocean currents are caused by the sinking of warm water near the poles?
False
What does pressure do for floating and sinking?
High AIR pressure Floats And Low Pressure Sinks!
How does convection current works?
convection currents work when heated water cools then goes to the bottom then heats back up

What causes sea pressure?
The sea pressure increases according to the depth of sea you are sinking to.
