The lifting of an air mass creates a low pressure zone, because the air mass took up space, and it was in that area with other things too, so they were pressed against each other (pressure). When that large mass leaves the area, it leaves more room for other things to not press up against each other, creating s low pressure area.

What is the low pressure zone at the equator?
When a cold air mass moves into a region occupied by a warm air mass the contact zone is called?
The contact zone is called a cold front.
It's a high-pressure zone with rising air. true or false?
It's a high-pressure zone with rising air. true or false
How do moving air masses create weather?
The water is evaporated from the ocean to form clouds. The air mass that contains the water moves around and the clouds go with them. When air moves from a high pressure to a low pressure zone, that's how wind works.
Which ocean zone is characterized by high water pressure low temperatures and no sunlight?
Abyssal Zone
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds to form in the mantle?
Gravity and the mass of rock above the diamond stability zone.
If the number of molecules in the atmosphere increased would the atmospheric pressure increase decrease or stay the same?
Air pressure is based on the density of molecules in the atmosphere. Density is mass divided by volume or D=M/V. By increasing the mass of air, the density increases. Decreasing volume also causes the density to increase. A high pressure zone means air has more mass per unit volume. A low pressure zone means the air has less mass per unit volume.
What are the importance of pressure bulb?
The Zone in a loaded soil mass bounded by any arbitrary isobar is known as a pressure bulb. The vertical pressure at any point on the surface of the pressure bulb is the same.
At a subduction zone what causes magma to rise?
heat and pressure of the 2 plates pushing against each other.
When was Pressure Zone created?
Pressure Zone was created in 1999.
What causes low pressure over the land during the day?
Low pressure over the land during the day is due to the low pressure forming at the intertropical convergence zone. This is apart of the Hadley cell circulation.
What is the water pressure of the sunlight zone?
the water pressure of the sunlight zone is very hot....
What is the pressure in the euphotic zone?
It is about 200 degress of pressure
What are the pressure zones that occur on either side of the intertropical convergence zone called?
subtropical high-pressure zone
What is the pressure like in the midnight zone?
its has about 1000 atmospheres of pressure
What is the low pressure zone at the equator?
Which continent has most of its land mass in the tropical zone?
Asia is the continent with most of its landmass in the tropical zone
