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.
Earths surface winds generally blow from regions of higher air temp to lower temp true or false?
False... lower temperatures have more dense air pressure than warm areas. Winds alway blow towards low pressure areas in an attempt to equalise the air pressure (basic physics).
What is convergent wind?
Convergent winds are winds that move toward something, such as a hurricane or tornado.
Winds spiral out from areas of?
High pressure areas
What factors contribute to global winds identify areas where winds are weak?
Inuncategorized
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas are called what?
The winds are called Westerlies.
What are the winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas called?
The winds are called Westerlies.
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward that polar areas?
Polar Easterlies

What is a situation that causes air pressure to rise?
Cooler, denser air is associated with areas of high pressure, and these may be reinforced by prevailing winds on their perimeter.
A mound of driven water toward coastal areas by hurricane winds is called?
Storm surge.
What causes the winds to rush toward hurricane areas?
A hurricane is an area of low barometric pressure. This tends to pull air inward.
What is a belt of steady winds blowing toward the equator?
Trade winds!
What is the cause of winds on Mars?
because it has a dense atmosphere:)
What are winds that blow from the east from the horse latitude toward the equator?
Trade Winds
Earths surface winds generally blow from regions of higher air temp to lower temp true or false?
False... lower temperatures have more dense air pressure than warm areas. Winds alway blow towards low pressure areas in an attempt to equalise the air pressure (basic physics).
Winds that flow toward the poles in the opposite direction of the trade winds are called what?
Westerlies
