The South Pole can be considered a low pressure region. Much like the North Pole, the South Pole is largely affected by a polar vortex featuring an area of low pressure.

Does the air above the north pole or south pole rise because it has low density and low pressure?
low pressure
Is air pressure at the equator greater than at the north pole?

Where do global winds form?
Global winds also occur because large high- and low-pressure zones alternate from the North Pole to the South Pole about every 30° latitude (north-south location). Both poles have high-pressure air masses (cold, dry, high pressure) and the air above the equator is a low-pressure zone (hot, moist, low pressure). Because high pressure always invades low pressure, the resulting winds-where the high- and low-pressure zones meet-are pretty reliable. They are known as the polar easterlies (at 60° latitude north and south); the westerlies or prevailing winds (at 30° latitude north and south); and the tropical easterlies or trade winds (at the equator, 0° latitude). I hope this helps your question! :)
Does 60 degrees latitude have a high or low pressure region?
"Warm air tends to have low pressure. Warm air molecules are more active and thus need more space to move around, thus being less dense." This is true with air aloft. However the surface air. which is the air you feel has the opposite effect. cold air is at a higher pressure than warm air at the surface creating a cycle. This also explains how sea breezes and land breezes form.
What is injected into high pressure air in a jet?
Answer this question… What is injected into high pressure air
Does the north pole have a high or low air pressure?
High Pressure
Does the air above the north pole or south pole rise because it has low density and low pressure?
low pressure
Why is high pressure at the pole?
it is because air sinks at the poles

What type of air mass is found at the North Pole?
The North Pole would have a polar air mass - high latitude and polar climate.
What creates the air pressure between the equator and poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.
What creates the air pressure difference between the equator and the poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.
