Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (in order to equalise the pressure). When air moves, it is called wind.

How do high and low pressures create?

Why do high and low pressures rotate?

High pressure and low pressures rotate because when they combine they spin and create a tornadoe


What cause the movement of the air?

Differences in air temperature and pressure usually cause wind, otherwise any kinetic energy can cause the movement of air. High pressure goes to low pressure, hot to cold. High temperatures have low pressures and low temperatures have high temperatures. Wind goes to low pressured areas to fill them in.


What sudden change in air pressure causes movement?

The movement of pressure systems; highs and lows. When a low approaches, which is an area of rising air, pressures fall and when a high approaches, which is an area of sinking air, pressures rise.


How is wind energy caused?

Solar energy causes temperature differences on our planet that results in different air pressures and hence causes wind from high pressure areas to low pressure ones.


What do low and high pressures indicate?

low tempreture is associated with thunderstorms and high preassure is normally a heat wave


What happens to air between high and low pressures?

winds


Does wind move from high to low or low to high pressure?

Wind moves from high pressure to low pressure. Air always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure in an attempt to equalize pressure differences.


What is the role of air pressure in the occurrence of wind?

air flows from high pressure to low pressure region simple as that these are also reason why we get rain


How does high and low pressures affect weather?

High pressure means there is going to be rain in that area. Low means the opposite.


What is wind the result of?

Wind is the result of differences in pressure in the atmosphere and flows between air masses. It moves from high-pressure to low-pressure regions, in an attempt to even out all different barometric pressures.


Why do low temperatures and high pressures required to liquefy chlorine gas?

Low temperatures are required to reduce the kinetic energy of the chlorine gas molecules, causing them to come closer together and form a liquid. High pressures help to further compress the gas molecules, increasing their attraction and facilitating the liquefaction process. Together, low temperatures and high pressures create conditions where the intermolecular forces dominate over the kinetic energy, allowing the gas to turn into a liquid state.
