What is an area of high pressure where air moves aparts and sinks?
An area of high pressure where the air moves apart and sinks is an anticyclone.
What causes air to move in a global world level?
Temperature. Warm air rises causing a low pressure area. Cold air then moves in to take its place.
Winds form in response to the?
Wind is caused from the way the radiation from the sun is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The air is unevenly absorbed, which causes the hot air to rise and the colder air to sink. The air rising causes the pressure of the atmosphere to drop, the sinking of the air causes lower atmospheric pressure. Whenever the air moves from high to low pressure area, it creates wind.
Where does low pressured air move to?
Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is what A low because cold air is not as dense as warm air B high because cold air is denser than warm air C neither high nor low?
When cold air moves into an area, we have high atmospheric pressure; the cold air is denser than the warm air. Love, me :)
What causes the breeze to start?
Uneven heating in the atmosphere causes pressure differences and when air is in high pressure, it moves toward an area of lower pressure, and that is how wind starts.
What is an area of high pressure where air moves aparts and sinks?
An area of high pressure where the air moves apart and sinks is an anticyclone.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?
When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.
What moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Air.
The influence of temperature on air density causes?
Winds. If one area has air that heats up and the other doesn't then there is a higher air pressure in one area so the air moves. Hence wind.

Why does the air move from place to place?
air has a tendency to move so it moves from high pressure area to low 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.
Area of high pressure where air moves apart and sinks?
Anticyclone
Where does low pressured air move to?
Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
What happens to air when there is an area of lower pressure nearby?
The thing that is low pressure is air. When a meteorologist says that there is an area of "Low Pressure" he is saying that there is a low air pressure in an area or, more exactly, that there is less air per cubic unit than there is in surrounding areas. So, if neutrally pressured air met with low pressured air the neutrally pressured or comparatively condensed air, a.k.a "high pressure" air would fall downward until it reached a state of equilibrium. And attaining equilibrium by both mixing with the surrounding air and falling to an altitude of similar air pressure.
