The greater the area, the lower the pressure. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure. I am assuming by area you mean volume. According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, pressure and volume are inversely related. As the volume increases, the pressure will decrease and vice versa.

Atmospheric pressure is measured in weight per square area, such as pounds per square inch... so no, it doesn't increase if the area increases.

How pressure depends on force and area?

Pressure = force/area This means that the larger the force, the larger the pressure. But the smaller the area, the larger the pressure.


What does rising atmospheric pressure usually indicates?

a high pressure system is moving into an area


When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?

When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.


The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?

This force is called atmospheric pressure, the force is measured per unit area because the bigger the area the more molecules hit. It is 14.7 pounds per square inch ("psi")


The ratio of the weight of air to the area on which it presses is called?

Atmospheric pressure


What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure?

As air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases.


Where does the force of a cyclone come from?

Cyclone is caused due to the variation of atmospheric pressure in the air. Especially in the low atmospheric zone, air comes from all sides to balance the atmospheric pressure in that area. That's why cyclone is created. So the force for cyclone comes from variation in atmospheric pressure.


When the area get larger the pressure?

Yes.
