Fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high pressure?
No. Fluids move away from areas of high pressure and toward areas of low pressure.
Do fluids like air tend to move toward areas of high or low pressure?
Fluids tend to move toward low pressure areas.
How do fluids move through a pressure difference?
Fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
What is the energy source for most wind?
The energy source is the Sun. The heat from the Sun warms the air in some places more than others. Areas with warmer air have lower pressure, and because fluids (gases and liquids) always move toward lower pressure, large amounts of higher pressure, cooler air move toward areas with lower pressure, warmer air. Also, the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis Effect, which determines the directions of many of the world's prevailing (general) wind patterns.
Does air move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
No, it does not.
Does air move from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure?
No, it does not.
How does the low pressure associtated with a hurricane help them grow big and powerful?
Air in the atmosphere tends to move toward low-pressure regions, which would increase the winds surrounding a hurricane. Air in the atmosphere moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air rushing toward a hurricane causes the hurricane to grow in size and strength.
How does wind move between pressure systems?
from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
How does air pressure like to move?
air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.
Which direction does wind move?
Roughly from high pressure toward low pressure.
Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?
Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.
Does the wind move from high pressure area towards low pressure area?
Yes, it does move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If it didn't we would have no such thing as wind.
