Describe the path of air as it travels into a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere?
Winds in the Northern Hemisphere tend to blow clockwise out of areas of high pressure and counterclockwise into areas of low pressure.
What direction does a high pressure system turn?
High pressure turns right and low pressure turns left :D
How is low pressure area developed?
A low pressure area is caused by a drop in temperature in the atmosphere.
When is a hot air balloon behaving like an air mass in a high pressure area?
When the air mass is like the hot-air balloon =P
What is high - pressure centers of dry air?
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
What is the name of air flowing from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Wind
What is the technical name for a high pressured center?
The technical name for a high pressure center is also referred to as an anticyclone. This is defined as a large circulation of wind around an area of high atmospheric pressure.
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.
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.
Good weather is usually found in low pressure area or high pressure area?
High pressure areas
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
What is a high pressure area on a map?
A High Pressure area on a weather map is represented by a Blue "H". Usually around this high pressure area is pleasant weather, because high pressure areas don't allow for cloud formation.
What moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Air.
What is produced from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure?
Diffusion occurs when an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure. They mix together and create an equilibrium, all particles spread out equally.
Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
What is a area where the air pressure is high?
F=P*A where F is the force and P= pressure and A= area , so if pressure is high the area is to be low to keep the force constant
What is a stationary front an area of high or low pressure?
A stationary front would be associated with an area of low pressure (high pressure does not have fronts).
