Why is air pressure in warm areas lower than the air pressure in cool areas?

cuz i wish i no


When the pressure in hurricane gets lower or higher what does the wind do?

The lower the barometric pressure is in a hurricane, the stronger the wind will be. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and the lower the pressure is, the more moisture that will be attracted from the water. This warm moisture rises up and forms into clouds and wind, so the more moisture is rising, the stronger the winds will be. If the barometric pressure is high, the moisture can't move up and form clouds and wind.


What is the connection between temperature air pressure and wind?

A low pressure region should mean that the region is low in air. The air from the surrounding region (which is comparatively at higher pressure) moves into this low pressure region creating a wind. So, wind is the movement of air from a high pressure region into a low pressure region. Warm air is lighter than cold air. Warm air being lighter moves upward creating a low pressure region. So, wind could also be a movement of air from cooler to warmer region.


Why are fronts important?

There are cold and warm weather fronts. On a weather map they are defined by sudden changes in the ambient temperature. For example, in front of a cold front, which typically travels west to east, we find the temperature over the area in front will be several degrees warmer than behind that cold front. Conversely, if it's a warm front, the air in front will be several degree colder than behind that warm front. Typically the cold fronts are created by low pressure areas and warm fronts by high pressure areas. As the names imply, low pressure areas have atmospheric pressures lower than the surrounding areas. And high pressure areas have atm pressures that are higher than the surrounding areas.


Under which atmosphereic conditions will water evaporate at the fastest rate?

At lower (absolute) pressure, lower air humidity (relative pressure) and higher temperature

Does a wind - move air from a warm place to a cool place?

Air flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.Related Information:Temperature is irrelevant except that temperature plays its part in creating areas of higher or lower localized atmospheric pressure.

Earths surface winds generally blow from regions of higher air temp to lower temp true or false?

False... lower temperatures have more dense air pressure than warm areas. Winds alway blow towards low pressure areas in an attempt to equalise the air pressure (basic physics).


Why do balloons deflate in cold weather?

Because the pressure of a gas is dependent on the temperature. The same amount of gas - as what you have inside your balloon - will have a higher pressure when it's warm, and a lower pressure when it's cold. And higher pressure = more inflation. Lower pressure = less inflation.

Do low pressure areas bring warm weather?

yes

Warm air moves upwards into areas of less air pressure == ==


Do cold air masses have higher or lower air pressure than warm masses?

Yes. Cold air masses have higher density, because the molecules are closer together. That makes them have higher pressure because there is more mass per unit volume pressing down.The molecules are closer together because they are colder, and, with less energy, which is the same as temperature, they vibrate less, so that causes them to move closer together.
