Warm air expands and rises creating an area of cold air is dense and sinks to create an area of?
High and Low Pressure
Where does low pressured air move to?
Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
When air moves from an area of low pressure it causes?
Wind
How does barometric pressure influence weather?
High pressure situations are generally associated with fair, sunny weather. As high pressure is an area of sinking air, and air tends to dry out as it sinks, leaving sunny skies.
What happens when a high pressure system moves in where a low pressure system already is?
Typically the area between the systems gets high winds because of the differences in circulation such as a high pressure spins clockwise and low pressure system spins counter clockwise.
Area of high pressure where air moves apart and sinks?
Anticyclone
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
Does the air in a high pressure area rise or fall?
It sinks
What moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Air.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?
When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.
Warm air expands and rises creating an area of cold air is dense and sinks to create an area of?
High and Low Pressure
What does air do in a high pressure area?
A high pressure area is usually an area that is being cooled, making the air move toward the ground. It gradually moves away from the high pressure area toward a low pressure area.
Why does the air move from place to place?
air has a tendency to move so it moves from high pressure area to low pressure area
How does wind erosion occur?
"How" because wind is in a high pressure area looking for a low pressure area so that is how the wind moves. When it moves it is always picking up "trash"(small particles of sand and dirt).
Where does low pressured air move to?
Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
When air moves from an area of low pressure it causes?
Wind
What is in a hurricane that is the low pressure area around which air moves rapidly?
eye of the hurricane
