When a sailing boat is sailing into the wind the shape of the sail acts like a plane's wing and differential pressure across the sail propels the boat forward.

How does air pressure like to move?

air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.


How does air pressure move air particles?

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. Differences in air pressure cause air particles to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air particles creates wind.

What happens to air pressure when you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere?

air pressure decreases


What happens to the air pressure when you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere?

Air pressure decreases as you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere. This is because the weight of the air above is less in the stratosphere, leading to lower air pressure at higher altitudes.


What cause the air to move?

What will move from a high pressure to a low pressure area?

Air.


Does wind occur when you move up into higher air pressure from lower air pressure?

Wind is caused by air moving from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If you were to move up into higher air pressure from a lower pressure area, you would generally experience a calmer and more stagnant air environment, as air tends to move towards lower pressure regions.


Does air move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?

No, it does not.


Where does low pressured air move to?

Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
