Best Answer

Warm air has less pressure because since the molecules are hot they need to move around, A LOT. Making extra space between molecules. Cold molecules however are the exact opposite. They tend to move less and come together more often, thus making the area in cold air so pressurized. This is noticable on how it is more difficult to breathe in winter than in a perfectly warm spring of summer day.

Does cold air have high or low pressure?

Cold air typically has higher pressure than warm air because cold air is denser and therefore exerts more pressure on its surroundings.

Pressure differences between warm and cold air masses cause what?

Pressure differences between warm and cold air masses cause fronts or high/low pressure systems. A warm front is when a warm, moist air mass slides up and over a cold air mass, and a cold front is the opposite.


Can warm air pressure weigh more than cold air pressure?

yes


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 :)

Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space then warm air therefore it has a what pressure?

Cold air has more molecules occupying space than warm air, therefore it has high pressure.


Why does cold air exerts more pressure then the warm air?

Because the air molecules are packed closer together in cold air.


Does warm air have more pressure than cold air?

Yes, high pressure systems are associated with warmer air.
