High pressure zones are created by a phenomenon called subsidence. Subsidence occurs whenever the air in the high cools, becomes denser and moves towards the ground. Pressure increases here because more air fills the space left from the low. Subsidence also evaporates most of the atmosphere's water vapor so high pressure systems are usually associated with clear skies and calm weather.

∙ 11y agoA high-pressure area, high or anticycloneis a region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment.
Winds within high-pressure areas flow outward from the higher pressure areas near their centers towards the lower pressure areas further from their centers. Gravity adds to the forces causing this general movement, because the higher pressure compresses the column of air near the center of the area into greater density - and so greater weight compared to lower pressure, lower density, and lower weight of the air outside the center.

Does the Intertropical Convergence Zone have high pressure with rising air?
Low pressure is associated with rising air. The ITCZ is an area of low pressure.
What are three topography features?
Because of the depth, there is extremely high water pressure. There may be limited light, depending of the water depth. And only certain creatures can live at such depths where the pressure is too high for other organisms to withstand.
