What are center of low pressure called?
anticyclones
What is the difference between depressions and anticyclones?
one difference is that anticyclones stay for a long period of time and depressions only stay for a short amount of time.....Anticyclones are areas of high pressure, the descending air is cooler, dryer and denser than at ground level. As it descends it warms increasing its ability to hold moisture so precipitation is much less frequent.Cyclones/depressions on the other hand are low pressure zones that bring unstable weather with strong winds and heavy rain. There are several stages to a depression, the embryonic, mature and stage of decay.Anticyclones stay for longer, and in regards to the UK, are less frequent, bringing frosts in winter and heatwaves/dry summers. Their winds blow in a clockwise direction and have a low pressure gradient (wide spread isobars) which means gentle winds. Depressions on the other hand have a strong pressure gradient and strong winds, which blow in an anticlockwise direction.Air rises in a depression and descends in an anticyclone.Hope this helped.
What air pressure do anticyclones have?
Anticyclones produce high barometric pressure.
Can anticyclones be affected by climate change?
Anticyclones can be affected by climate change. When air temperature increases it causes clouds to evaporate and anticyclones create dry weather in the summer time.

Which describes both cyclones and anticyclones?
Cyclones and anticyclones can both be described and regions of pressure. They occur in a variety of sizes over the Earth's surface.
Why do you not hear about the anticyclones?
Anticyclones are typically referred to as high pressure areas. They are normally centered over a large area often with dry weather and clear skies. More often than not you do hear about anticyclones, but they are referred to as areas of high pressure instead.
