Does the air in a low pressure region tend to sink or rise?
It tends to rise because it is warm air
Does the air in a high pressure area rise or fall?
It sinks
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
What situations would cause air pressure to rise?
Air pressure begins to rise in a situation where there is a change in the temperature, especially when there is cold air hitting the ground. The rise in air pressure produces winds and different types of weather.
What type of weather is associated with high pressure and with low pressure systems?
high pressure usually brings fair weather because all that pressure is pushing on that air so it can't rise, clouds can't form and precipitation cannot form either, low pressure is the oppisite it lets air rise so clouds form and condense it to rain or snow so the weather is crappy
Does the air in a low pressure region tend to sink or rise?
It tends to rise because it is warm air
Explain why there are global high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth?
The convection cells radiate heat.
Does heated air rise or sink?
rise
Does the air in a high pressure area rise or fall?
It sinks
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
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.
What atmospheric conditions must occur to cause a barometer to rise?
To cause a barometer to rise, high pressure and sinking air must dominate the atmosphere. High pressure occurs when air is sinking and compressing, leading to clear skies and generally fair weather conditions. This sinking air prevents the formation of clouds and causes the barometric pressure to rise.
What is a situation that causes air pressure to rise?
Cooler, denser air is associated with areas of high pressure, and these may be reinforced by prevailing winds on their perimeter.
How does temperature affect air movement?
the hot air will rise and the cool air will sink
Draw a conclusion why is far weather common during periods of high pressure?
Sinking motion in high-pressure air masses makes it difficult for air to rise and clouds to form. That's why high pressure usually means good weather.
How does the movement of air affect type of weather that forms from high pressure and low pressure system?
because the cool air wont descend it will rise and the warm air wont rise it will descend (i think I'm right.not very sure.just guessed.)
Why. Is fair weather common during periods of high pressure?
Areas of low pressure usually have cloudy weather. Sinking motion in high-pressure air masses makes it difficult for air to rise and clouds to form. That's why high pressure usually means good weather.
