What factor causes the air in both low and high pressure systems to move to the right?

What causes the air in both low and high pressure systems to move to the right?

movement of weather fronts

When the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?

right. This leads to a clockwise rotation in high pressure systems and counterclockwise rotation in low pressure systems. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids and winds on its surface.

What is Buys Ballot's law?

The law states how the location of pressure systems can be deduced from the wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere. "If one stands with his back to the wind, atmospheric pressure is higher to his right and lower to his left" (restated: a high pressure system may be to your right, or a low pressure system to your left). This is because in the Northern Hemisphere, the rotation of high pressure systems is clockwise and in low pressure systems, it is counterclockwise.

What causes winds to be deflected to the right or the left as they flow from high pressure to low pressure?

Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.

Where does the wind in a high pressure system turn?

Remember this, high pressure systems usually go outwards, into low pressure systems in order to create an equilibrium. In the northern hemisphere, the high pressure wind turns right due to the coriolis effect, and opposite in the south.

If your back is to the wind in the northern hemisphere the high pressure area is usually?

on your right. High pressure systems rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning that winds flow outward and away from the high pressure center. As a result, when facing the wind, the high pressure area is typically to your right.

What conditions cause winds and rotating storms?

Wind is caused by uneven heating and pressure differences. Air tends to move toward an area where warm air is rising and away from an area where cool air is sinking. Similarly, air is pulled towards low pressure and away from high pressure.. However, as a consequence of earth's spin, in large scale systems air moves to the right of the direction of pull in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere. This causes large scale weather systems to rotate. Large scale storm systems are low pressure systems. Smaller scale rotating storms, such as supercells and the tornadoes their produce get their rotation from wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction at different heights.

Local winds always blow fromA.higher to lower pressuresB.high latitudes to low latitudesC highlands to lowlands?

A. Pressure systems determine where the wind blows, and while geography can affect those pressure systems it will not always affect it in the same way.

Is a high pressure sunny and bright?

Pressure is force divided by area. An increase in pressure is due to atmospheric gas (particles) being forced downwards. Due to thermodynamics this increase in air pressure leads to heating ( pv=nRT ) thus preventing condensation (no clouds = sun). Low pressure is due to air moving upwards leading to expansion and therefore cooling of the gas promoting condensation (clouds = rain) Here is how low pressure relates to bad weather... given the right conditions. High pressure generally relates to "nicer" weather, while low pressure often relates to bad weather. This is because these pressure systems have their own general characteristics. One characteristic I like to use while observing weather conditions such as pressure and making forcasts is the rotational direction of these pressure systems. For example, low pressure systems rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, while high pressure systems rotate clockwise. With low pressure systems, counterclockwise rotation causes converging winds. This means that the winds are coming together. Where are they coming from? Pressure moves from high pressure systems to low pressure systems. Therefore, moving air causes wind. When this air converges (as in a low pressure, counterclockwise system), due to its rotation, the air gets forced downward. In general, when this air is forced to the ground and has nowhere to go, it pushes out and back up around the center of the low pressure system. This upward movement of air causes instability in the atmosphere, which equals clouds, especially when the air being drawn in (converging air) has a different temperature than the air that it is replacing. Warm air below cooler air equals instability and rising thermals (rising hot air). There are many variables left out in this simple explaination, but in general it quickly answers the question. High pressure systems diverge air and therefore are the opposite. One has to remember, however, that these systems can interact in very complicated and unpredictable ways. -RJS

What is the volume of a gas is reduced from 4 L to 0.5 L while the temperature is held constant. What does the pressure of the gas do?

The gas pressure increases by a factor of 8. The relevant equation is pV = nRT. Since nothing on the right side of this equation changes, the product on the left side must remain constant. The volume is stated to decrease by a factor of 4/0.5 or 8; therefore the pressure must increase by the same factor.

Which direction do the pressure systems move across Australia?

West to east. West to east. I would say west to east or left to right

How do hurricanes rotate in the southern hemisphere?

Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
