What Global wind zones are set up by air moving from zones of?
high pressure and low pressure zones
Warm air expands and rises creating an area of cold air is dense and sinks to create an area of?
High and Low Pressure
Why is air pressure at Earth's surface?
Because it have high dense.
What does it mean if distances between high and low pressure zones are short?
I need the answer
The dense ice sheets that cover Antarctica create?
a high plateau with frigid, dry conditions
What Global wind zones are set up by air moving from zones of?
high pressure and low pressure zones
What are the names of the high pressure zones near 30 degree latitude both above and below the equator?
these are the subtropical high pressure zones
Warm air expands and rises creating an area of cold air is dense and sinks to create an area of?
High and Low Pressure
What types of weather do low pressure zones have?
High pressure zones have nice and sunny weather. Low pressure gives rain and thunderstorms.
What type of pressure does cold air have?
high pressure because the air is very dense. so it's pressure is also very high
What is the original source for wind?
Wind blows from high pressure zones to low pressure zones. It does not have a source, it is produced by differences in pressure between different areas.
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.
Why is air pressure at Earth's surface?
Because it have high dense.
Fluids create high or low pressure?
fluids create low pressure.
What does it mean if distances between high and low pressure zones are short?
I need the answer
What are the pressure zones that occur on either side of the intertropical convergence zone called?
subtropical high-pressure zone
How is weather related to wind direction?
pressure zones.. Buys ballot's law states that:"if you stand with your back to the wind in the northern hemisphere, the low pressure will be on your left side."In the nothern hemisphereWithin low pressure zones wind travels anti-clockwiseWithin high pressure zones wind travels clockwise
