The movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?

It's wind. and contrary to popular belief, the air movement is actually like that of a vacuum cleaner, low pressure areas suck from high rather than high blowing to low. We should say the wind sucks, not the wind blows.

At the center of a Low, air rises. They are called 'the active features' because High pressure systems occur only 'by default': this means that High pressure systems exist everywhere that Low pressure systems do not.

I suppose that would be wind, most fundamentally.

Does air move from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure?
No, it does not.
How do convection cells in Earth's atmosphere cause high pressure belts?
Areas of rising air causes low air pressure areas where as areas of sinking air are areas of high air pessure.
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.
Wind blows out of low pressure areas?
No, it blows into low pressure areas. Air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure.
Is there low air pressure or high air pressure in the eye of a hurricane?
Hurricanes are intense areas of low pressure.
What is the movement of air from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas?
density
How air pressure affects the motion of wind?
the air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, this movement of the air is called "wind".
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.
What is the meaning for the weathering tonight will be dominated by air movement that is causedby air moving from areas of high to low pressure?
Wind
What is air moving in a specific direction?
From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Hope this helps! :)
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.
Why do areas of high pressure fewer clouds?
Cold, sinking air aloft is compressed and heated as it sinks in areas of high pressure. This causes an elevated temperature inversion. An elevated temperature inversion occurs when a layer of warm air resides over a layer cooler air (at the surface) thereby restricting the vertical movement of air. The vertical movement of air is necessary for cloud development. This is why you see very few, if any, clouds in areas of high pressure.
What is the movement of air from high pressure to low pressure called?
Air
Is temperature related to pressure air?
Temperature is related to air pressure because the air pressure can determine the movement of wind. If cool winds move from areas of high pressure to low pressure zones, the temperature in that place will drop.
Does air move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
No, it does not.
Does air move from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure?
No, it does not.
