Air moves from where pressure is higher to lower or lower to higher?
Higher to lower.
Is air pressure higher or lower in warm areas?
higher
Why is air pressure different at various places on earth?
Atmospheric pressure varies due to elevation (altitude) and because of the motion of air masses over the surface. For altitude differences, the pressure is the result of the surrounding air. Higher pressure is experienced at lower altitudes just as higher pressure is found in greater depths within a body of water. A simple explanation is that the "column of air" above a surface "pushing down" is much shorter if you move higher into the "sea of air." This lower weight is expressed as lower pressure, which represents fewer molecules within a given volume of air. The higher the altitude (eg. mountains) = The lesser the atmospheric pressure The lower the altitude (eg. sea level) = The higher the atmospheric pressure
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Air moves from where pressure is higher to lower or lower to higher?
Higher to lower.
Suppose you are in the mountains at a higher altitude and wish to boil some water on the stove because the air pressure is the boiling point is?
lower, lower
Why is air pressure in higher area lower then lower attitude area isn't it the colder the air the more air pressure?
When you stand on the beach there's more air above your head than when you stand high in the mountains. That air weighs more, so there's more pressure. It's that simple.
Is air pressure higher at higher elevation?
Lower. There is less air pressure pushing down on you, than say, a deep sea diver
Would the air pressure in the center of a hurricane be lower or higher than standard air pressure?
higher
How does differental heating affect air pressure?
It affects the air pressure because the more higher level you have the more air pressure and the lower you have the lower the air pressure will be.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of all the air stacked up above you. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the pressure is lower.
Is air pressure higher or lower in warm areas?
higher
Why does atmospheric pressure varies from place to place?
Atmospheric pressure varies due to elevation (altitude) and because of the motion of air masses over the surface. For altitude differences, the pressure is the result of the surrounding air. Higher pressure is experienced at lower altitudes just as higher pressure is found in greater depths within a body of water. A simple explanation is that the "column of air" above a surface "pushing down" is much shorter if you move higher into the "sea of air."

The higher the altitude (eg. mountains) = The lesser the atmospheric pressure The lower the altitude (eg. sea level) = The higher the atmospheric pressure
What happen to the air pressure in a higher altitude?
The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.
