What Global wind zones are set up by air moving from zones of?
high pressure and low pressure zones
Does warm less dense air create high pressure zones?
yes
What does it mean if distances between high and low pressure zones are short?
I need the answer
What causes the wind zones of the earth?
There are two reasons that there are wind zones on the Earth. One is the Coriolis Effect. The other is because there are sustained areas of high and low pressure on the Equator and on the poles.
Where do global winds form?
Global winds also occur because large high- and low-pressure zones alternate from the North Pole to the South Pole about every 30° latitude (north-south location). Both poles have high-pressure air masses (cold, dry, high pressure) and the air above the equator is a low-pressure zone (hot, moist, low pressure). Because high pressure always invades low pressure, the resulting winds-where the high- and low-pressure zones meet-are pretty reliable. They are known as the polar easterlies (at 60° latitude north and south); the westerlies or prevailing winds (at 30° latitude north and south); and the tropical easterlies or trade winds (at the equator, 0° latitude). I hope this helps your question! :)
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
What types of weather do low pressure zones have?
High pressure zones have nice and sunny weather. Low pressure gives rain and thunderstorms.
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.
Does warm less dense air create high pressure zones?
yes

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
What are the four major air pressure zones?
The Four major air pressure zonessubtropical HighsSubpolar LowsPolar HighsEquatorial Low
Define polar easterlies?
The dry, cold winds originating from the Polar Highs, from high pressure zones.
Why can diamonds form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure.Diamonds need high temperatures and pressure to form from carbon. Diamonds form in the mantle in certain zones where conditions are right for them to do so.There just happens to be the right critical temperature-pressure-mineral environment in the mantle in certain zones for their formation.
