What causes an air mass to have high pressure?
the air becomes dense and it sinks
What causes air pressure differences?
Unequal heating of the Earth - this causes Winds; because the air pressure has to where it can [is allowed to] go and that is why their are differences in air pressure. Low pressure systems are the active features of the Atmosphere - because High pressure systems occur wherever Lows do 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.
The pressure gradient force causes air to flow from areas of relatively pressure to areas of relatively pressure?
high to low
How are monsoons made?
Air on the sea cools, while air on land warms up. This causes a area of high pressure over the sea and an area of low pressure over the land. Of course air flows from high pressure to low. This causes the air to bring water vapor on to land. convection causes this humid water to rise. Once this air rises and there is a lot of condensation in the air brings large rains. :) :)

Does warm air and high pressure causes rising air?
Yes warm air and low pressure can cause rising air.
What causes a air mass to have a high pressure?
Anti-cyclone
What causes an air mass to have a high pressure?
Anti-cyclone
Why the pressure vareis from moutanins to land?
High up on the mountains, there is less air above us. It is the air that causes the pressure.

high to low
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
What usually keeps rain from forming around highs?
High pressure of sinking air causes high pressure of evaporation to take place
Why an over inflated tire bursts at high speeds?
At high speed, there is a lot of flexing of the rubber, which causes heat, which heats the air inside the tire, which increases the air pressure. If the pressure was too high to begin with, the increased air pressure can be high enough to cause the tire to burst.
