Where do weather balloons go?
Once the balloon gets high enough in the atmosphere, the ambient atmospheric pressure becomes very low (say 20mb = 2000Pa). There is a pressure gradient force from the high pressure of the air inside the balloon to the air in the environment outside of the balloon, working across the balloon material. Once this PGF becomes stronger than the tension of the balloon material, the balloon will pop.
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?
High to Low.
What is high and low pressure on a map?
high pressure is a BLUE H and low pressure is a RED L on the map
What would happen if a balloon that was blown up at a low altitude is brought to a high altitude?
The ballon will most likely pop. The balloon will shrink.
How does Bernoulli's principle relate to the hot air balloon?
this happens because the high pressure wants to go to low pressure

What makes the lungs operate?
its all by pressure, our diaphragm (muscle in our chest) contracts and relaxes causing high and low pressure and makes the lungs expand etc, think of a balloon in a jar and you can controll the pressure on the outside of the balloon, it will inflate and deflte
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
Will a hot air balloon fly better on high pressure or low pressure?
High pressure. A hot air balloon has a maximum altitude, where it has only just enough lift to keep it there, because there is very little difference in density between hot (near) vacuum and cold (near) vacuum.
Can you show a labeled picture of high and low pressure in a party balloon?
No. WikiAnswers doesn't store graphics. But that's OK, because you don't need a picture. The pressure is the same at every point inside any single balloon. There are no places inside a balloon where the pressure is higher or lower than at any other place in the same balloon.
What happens to the atmospheric pressure acting on the balloon as the balloon rises?
due to pressure inside the balloon, will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
What happens to the pressure of the air outside of the balloon as it goes higher?
The pressure inside the balloon will be higher because the balloon will try to get smaller and thus the balloon will ascent due to the low density of the helium inside the balloon.
How a pressure difference is responsible for the movement of air?
The pressure pushes it around depending on how high or low the air pressure is.ANSWERAir moves from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. If you have a water balloon and you squeeze it, the area where your fingers are is similar to a high pressure zone. The water then flows away from your fingers to the lower pressure areas of the balloon. That is how air flows in the atmosphere. Things such as humidity and temperature differences cause the different pressure zones, and the air flows from high pressure areas to lower pressure ones.
What condition cause deviations from the ideal gas?
High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.
Would a cyclonic flow be high-pressure or low-pressure?
Low pressure - cyclone High pressure - anticyclone
Are hurricanes low pressure or high pressure?
Hurricanes are low pressure systems.
