Our atmosphere is divided into layers of air which exerts pressure on the ground, at the earth. The higher the distance from the ground, lower the pressure of the air exerted by it. (i.e why astronauts float above the atmosphere with no pressure or gravitation pull). Atmosphere gets heated up by the sun and so the ground. This causes the moisture to evaporate and the air above the ground becomes warmer and both rise up. Warmer air are less dense, lighter in weight and have a tendency to hold more water. This warmer air rises up above the cold air (which is heavier or highly denser). The areas which witness such type of phenomenon are called as low pressure areas. At a later stage, the warmer or low pressure air, above the cold high pressure air, gets cooled, condensed and causes precipitations. Low pressure air is usually marked with cloudy and windy sky. Hence we say that Low pressure areas gets torrential rainfall. Whereas in high pressure areas, one would witness dry and clear sky (due to lack of condensed air or clouds)
What else can I help you with?
Does vacuum refer to an area that has high or low pressure?
Low pressure
What moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Air.
Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
Winds are typically stronger near a low pressure area because air flows from high pressure to low pressure, creating faster wind speeds. In contrast, near a high pressure area, the air is descending and spreading out, resulting in lighter winds.
What is produced from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure?
Diffusion occurs when an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure. They mix together and create an equilibrium, all particles spread out equally.
How are the air masses and fronts different?
Air mass - refers to any area of high or low pressure. A front - is the point at which an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure.
What will move from a high pressure to a low pressure area?
Air.
Is the North Pole a high or low pressure area?
low
Is an area with very little rainfall like to be a high or low pressure center?
high pressure most likely
Air always flows from?
an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. This movement occurs naturally as the atmosphere seeks to equalize pressure imbalances. The flow of air from high to low pressure is what creates our wind patterns.
How are the terms front and air mass different?
Air mass - refers to any area of high or low pressure. A front - is the point at which an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure.
What is the name of air flowing from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Wind
How does low and high pressure affect the weather?
High pressure means there is going to be rain in that area. Low means the opposite.
