What kind of air pressure does a cyclone have?
A cyclone has low pressure.
Where air is sinking high pressure rainfall is likely as the air sinks?
No. When air sinks in a high pressure system it is compressed and warms up. This tends to cause clouds to evaporate and inhibits convection, thus making rain less likely.
What is the air pressure inside a cyclone?
the air in the cyclone rises as the air rises it cools
Why are skies often clear or cloudy in a hurricane's eye?
Air in the eye of a hurricane is sinking. As it sinks it warms up, which causes clouds to evaporate. Some cloud are often still present in the eye as the air is still very moist.
What does convection have to do with global warming?
Convection Current is when the warm air rises and cold air sinks as warm air is more dense. This can be seen with radiators at the floor and air conditioners on the ceiling. This can be related to the outside world when cat fumes (the warm air) rises and then damages the ozone layer it then cools and sinks back down to earth. This can also then be seen when cold air sinks to the ice caps then warms up as it gets closer to the earths crust and warms up once more and consequently melting the ice caps.

What kind of weather is heavy dense air that sinks?
Cold air
Will global warming affect the air?
Yes. As heat trapping gas accumulates in the atmosphere, the air warms first. This subsequently warms the land and oceans. The oceans are big, and represent large heat sinks, so it takes considerable time to alter their heat content. Land tends to heat and cool much more rapidly. But it is the air that warms first.
Cooler air is more dense and sinks causing what kind of atmospheric pressure?
high

How do stratus clouds form?
stratus clouds come from an inversion,i.e, when rthere is warmer air above colder air. that happens mostly in a high pressure where air from above sinks as the pressure increases and warms up adiabatically. Stratus in greek means: layer

What is a swirling center of air pressure called?
cyclone.
What happens to cold air as it sinks to the ground?
Fog appears when cold air sinks to the ground.
