What happens to air when there is an area of lower pressure nearby?

The thing that is low pressure is air.
When a meteorologist says that there is an area of "Low Pressure" he is saying that there is a low air pressure in an area or, more exactly, that there is less air per cubic unit than there is in surrounding areas.
So, if neutrally pressured air met with low pressured air the neutrally pressured or comparatively condensed air, a.k.a "high pressure" air would fall downward until it reached a state of equilibrium. And attaining equilibrium by both mixing with the surrounding air and falling to an altitude of similar air pressure.

What happens when area of contact is increased?
When area of contact increases between two objects, then the pressure applied decreases. Here is the formula: Pressure(Pascals)=Force(newtons)/area(metre2)
If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure
What force is drinking out of straw?
It is all to do with air pressure. We lower the air pressure inside the straw by sucking the air out of it, atmospheric pressure which is pushing down on the surface of the drink literally forces it up the straw into our mouth.
Force that acts over a certain area is called?
Pressure
What is the unit of measure for atmospheric pressure most commonly found on weather maps?
Pressure is shown with white curvy lines. The closer the lines are to each other in a certain area, the higher the pressure is. The farter apart they are, the lower the pressure is in that area.
What happens air hits an area of lower pressure?
It will fill the area of lower pressure, expanding and slightly cooling until the pressure of the area and it's surrounding are equal.

How dos wind start?
Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.
What happens to gas particles when air leaks out in an inflated ball?
Gas particles travel from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure when air leaks out of an inflated ball.
What is the relationship between force area and pressure?
pressure = force / area Therefore pressure and force are directly proportional, meaning... The greater the force the greater the pressure and the lower the force the lower the pressure
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is?
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is diffusion.
Molecules from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure?
Yes. Everything "flows downhill" in that sense, going toward the lower pressure, temperature, concentration, energy level, etc.
What is an area called where the air pressure is lower than the area around it?
a-plus a low pressure system
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
In which direction does cool air move by water?
It will always move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure.
What happens when you suck at a straw while having a drink?
You lower the pressure inside your mouth and the atmosphere pushes the liquid up the straw. That is why it is almost impossible to suck the liquid into your stomach directly. You can't lower your stomach pressure much. The mouth has muscles to create a small lower pressure area, then you gulp the contents that wind up in the mouth.
What is the source of wind?
The movement of air from an area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure
