What causes air pressure differences?
Unequal heating of the Earth - this causes Winds; because the air pressure has to where it can [is allowed to] go and that is why their are differences in air pressure. Low pressure systems are the active features of the Atmosphere - because High pressure systems occur wherever Lows do not.
Does warm air have more pressure than cold air?
Yes, high pressure systems are associated with warmer air.
Which type of air pressure is linked to fog and frost?
Low pressure systems are associated with rain and snow.
What types of pressure systems are associated with tornadoes?
As with virtually all stormy weather, tornadoes generally occur with low pressure systems.
What are the characteristics of a low pressure system?
In a low pressure system, air is rising. Air spirals inwards in a clockwise direction. In a low pressure system, rising air cools and clouds begin to form. Low pressure systems usually cover a smaller area than high pressure systems and move faster. Low pressure systems are associated with high precipitation.
What are the two types of air pressure systems?
High pressure and low pressure
How does the air affect pressure systems?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?
Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
How does pressure affect the air?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
How are low pressure systems and high pressure systems alike?
Both induce cyclic air flow
Does warm air have more pressure than cold air?
Yes, high pressure systems are associated with warmer air.

What are the parts of a weather map?
There are several types and parts to weather maps. Parts may include: 1. Air pressure. 2. Low pressure systems. 3. High pressure systems. 4. Types of fronts which include cold, warm, occluded and stationary fronts. 5. Temperature. 6. Cloud cover. 7. Satellite and radar.
What are the characteristics of a low pressure system?
In a low pressure system, air is rising. Air spirals inwards in a clockwise direction. In a low pressure system, rising air cools and clouds begin to form. Low pressure systems usually cover a smaller area than high pressure systems and move faster. Low pressure systems are associated with high precipitation.
3 characteristics of a high pressure system?
In a high pressure system, air is sinking. Air spirals outwards in an anticlockwise direction. In a high pressure system, sinking air becomes warm and stable. High pressure systems usually cover a greater area than low pressure systems and move slower. If located over land, high pressure systems are usually cloud-free.
