A low pressure area is when the air at sea level is cooler than the air higher up and usually contributes to clouds and precipitation. A high pressure area is the opposite and contributes to clearer skies and drier weather.

Where does air tend to flow?
In the atmosphere, to different areas of pressure
Why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?
The different "layers" are classifications of horizontal sections of the atmosphere, volumes which exhibit different attributes. The high and low pressure regions are areas where the atmosphere is thicker or thinner.
Why is air pressure in warm areas lower than the air pressure in cool areas?
cuz i wish i no
Are bright blue skies caused by high air pressure areas or low air pressure areas?
Clear skies generally accompany areas of high pressure.
Why air move from low to high air pressure?
In areas of high pressure the air is being squeezed more by the air above it than it is in areas of lower pressure. So the air will tend to get pushed away from the high pressure area.
What happens to the air of high pressure areas that leads to this type of weather?
nothing
What happens to the air of high-pressure areas that leads to this type of weather?
nothing
What happens to the air of high pressure areas that lead to this type of weather?
nothing
Where does air tend to flow?
In the atmosphere, to different areas of pressure
Winds are produced when there is a different in what?
Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.
What happens to the sind speed as the air pressure gets lower..why?
It increases. High pressure air always moves toward low pressure areas. When there is low pressure, the high pressure moves in, and the movement of air creates wind.
Why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?
The different "layers" are classifications of horizontal sections of the atmosphere, volumes which exhibit different attributes. The high and low pressure regions are areas where the atmosphere is thicker or thinner.
How does a stationery front have so many same days of the same weather?
air pressure is not always the same everywhere, areas with different air pressure can cause changes in the weather. These areas may have lower or higher air pressure then their surroundings
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.
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.
What is air moving in a specific direction?
From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Hope this helps! :)
What air moves upward to areas of less air pressure?
Warm air moves upwards into areas of less air pressure == ==
