Does air pressure increase when temperature does?
Air pressure actually decreases as you reach higher altitudes because gas particles in the air expand, making the air colder and less dense.
If the air pressure gets higher does it mean that there are more molecules pressing down?
quite right. Air pressure is the result of millions of air molecules impinging on the surface per unit area. The higher the air pressure, the higher the number of strikes from air molecules.
Does cooler air make a high pressue area or a low pressure area?
Cold air becomes more dense, hence it produces higher pressure.
Wind is the horizontal movement of air from an area of?
Wind occurs because air tends to move from region of higher to lower pressure.
What is it called when air pressure on earth decreases?
As a person climbs to a higher point on earth, the air pressure decreases because there is less air above you. ... The phenomenon is called "hydrostatic equilibrium".
When an area of low pressure air is surrounded by high pressure air what is it called?
it is a tornado

Does air pressure increase when temperature does?
Air pressure actually decreases as you reach higher altitudes because gas particles in the air expand, making the air colder and less dense.
What is the source of wind?
The movement of air from an area of higher pressure to one of lower 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.
If the air pressure gets higher does it mean that there are more molecules pressing down?
quite right. Air pressure is the result of millions of air molecules impinging on the surface per unit area. The higher the air pressure, the higher the number of strikes from air molecules.
What does the higher Millibar measurement in a higher pressure area mean?
It means that in the area of the high pressure there weight of air above you is heavier than outside the high pressure area. This could be cause by the air being denser (ie could air) or by the atmosphere being locally, physically thicker.
Does cooler air make a high pressue area or a low pressure area?
Cold air becomes more dense, hence it produces higher pressure.
How does strong wind occur?
Strong winds occur when there is a steep gradient in air pressure, i.e. if the difference in air pressure is large, the air moves from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure at a considerable rate, or velocity.
When coastal land is warmer than the nearby water what type of breeze forms?
Along Coastlines, warmer air relates to lower air pressure, thus air flows from the higher-pressure, cooler setting into the area of lower air pressure. If the land is warmer, it has lower air pressure. Air over the sea would therefore be cooler and thus have higher atmospheric pressure, and the air will naturally from from the higher pressure (in this case, from over the ocean) to the lower pressure (over the warmer land).So you get a wind from the water onto the land, or a sea breeze.
