Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?
Winds move toward the center of a hurricane because of the low pressure generated by the upward motion of the air inside it.
What best describes the pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone?
Pressure decreases toward the center
Does wind moves rapidly toward a high pressure center?
No. Winds move away from a high pressure center and towards a low pressure center. You can think of it as the low pressure sucking the air in.
Can hurricanes and tornadoes both spin around a center of low pressure?
It is not just a manner that they can, but that they always do. Both hurricanes and tornadoes involve wind rotating around and being drawn toward a low pressure center.
What is it called if a weather front is essentially not moving?
The term is "stationary front" although it may still be moving, just not on a continuing line toward or away from the center of one pressure system (i.e. cold front, warm front).
Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?
Toward the center. The low pressure sucks air inward.
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral outward?
When an area of low pressure is created with strong winds that spiral towards the center, a tropical cyclone is being formed. The spiral arrangement of thunderstorms produces heavy rain.
Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?
Winds move toward the center of a hurricane because of the low pressure generated by the upward motion of the air inside it.
Where do winds spiral toward the center of a cyclone?
the middle
Pressure increases with depth toward the center of Earth. In which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?
At the very center.
Pressure increases with depth toward the center of the earth in which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?
At the very center.
What is a spiral band?
The spiral bands of a hurricanes are relatively narrow areas of heavy rain that spiral into the eye wall of a hurricane. Rain between these bands is lighter.
How does the pressure change as you go from the toward the center of earth?
The pressure gets more dence
What happens to the pressure as you travel toward the center of the earth?
pressure increases and "bunches up"
What best describes the pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone?
Pressure decreases toward the center
What best describes the pressure in a middle -latitude cyclone?
Pressure decreases toward the center
Does wind moves rapidly toward a high pressure center?
No. Winds move away from a high pressure center and towards a low pressure center. You can think of it as the low pressure sucking the air in.
