What kind of pressure is cold air?
Cold air is often associated with high pressure, though this oversimplifies the issue somewhat.
What effect does cold air have on air pressure?
Cold air increases air pressure
What pressure does cold air exert?
Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
How do cold temperature affect air pressure?
Cold temperatures increase air pressure.
Does wind exist?
Wind exists because of two main forces: The rotation of the earth, and the heat and light from the sun. The rotation of the earth causes wind because the natural tendency of air molecules is to stay still. The earth essentially is moving, and the air is essentially staying where it is, creating the illusion that the air is moving. This is called "the Coriolis Effect". The Coriolis effect is what causes the constant unchanging winds used by sailing ships. The heat from the sun is responsible for almost all of earth's weather, except for those mentioned above. The sun's heat causes the air molecules to become excited, and lack of heat makes the molecules stand still. Excited molecules expand, and create High Pressure. Still molecules contract and create low pressure. When high pressure air moves in to fill in the slight vacuum created by low pressure air, it creates wind. In short HOT AIR = HIGH PRESSURE COLD AIR = LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO GET TO WHERE THERE IS LESS PRESSURE.
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.
What happens with air pressure when the air is cold?
The air pressure is high when the air is cold, and it's sinking.
Warm air expands and rises creating an area of cold air is dense and sinks to create an area of?
High and Low Pressure
What type of pressure does cold air have?
high pressure because the air is very dense. so it's pressure is also very high
Why is air presure low when air is cold?
High pressure in weather is cold, and low pressure is hot.
What kind of pressure is cold air?
Cold air is often associated with high pressure, though this oversimplifies the issue somewhat.
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 :)
Is high pressure accosiated with cold air?
yes
Is high pressure warm front or cold front?
warm front is low pressure , cold front high pressure . because it pushes down on the surface (because cold air sinks) it makes high pressure .
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.
Does warm air have more pressure than cold air?
Yes, high pressure systems are associated with warmer air.
Why is there high air pressure at the poles?
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
