Air is a relatively poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Removing air creates an easier path for electrons to jump and create an arc.

Why do fluid create pressure?

Fluids have a higher density than air and therefore exert more pressure than air.

How do high and low pressures create?

Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (in order to equalise the pressure). When air moves, it is called wind.


How do differences in atmosphere pressure create winds?

As dense, cool air moves into a low-pressure region , the less dense, warmer air is pushed upward. These pressure differences, which are the result of the unequal heating that causes convection, create winds.


How does air pressure help create a cyclone?

A cyclone is a low pressure system. The low pressure draws air inward while the Coriolis effect causes the inflowing air to set the system rotating.
