Warm, moist, humid, air associated with a low pressure system is actually lighter than dry air - owing to the fact that
hydrogen molecules in water vapor (H20) are lighter than Oxygen or Nitrogen
molecules. This moist air rises - causing air pressure to be relatively low compared to surrounding air.

Why does warm air meeting moist air result in low pressure?
The warm air is moist due to water evaporating from the land/ocean. It is low pressure because warm air is less dense, and rises, creating an area of low pressure.
What air pressure is associated with fronts?
Low pressure.
What weather do warm moist air masses bring?
low pressure
Does the Intertropical Convergence Zone have high pressure with rising air?
Low pressure is associated with rising air. The ITCZ is an area of low pressure.
Which type of pressure is associated with cool rising air?
low pressure. because warm air is less dense. so it's pressure is also low.( less dense because because of the heat( warm air = hot air) the molecules of the air is very active. so the the are not close to each other which means less dense)
Which air pressure system is generally associated with warm moist air?
Choices; low pressure, changing pressure, high pressure, no pressure.
Why does warm air meeting moist air result in low pressure?
The warm air is moist due to water evaporating from the land/ocean. It is low pressure because warm air is less dense, and rises, creating an area of low pressure.
What air pressure is associated with fronts?
Low pressure.
What weather do warm moist air masses bring?
low pressure
Which type of air pressure is linked to fog and frost?
Low pressure systems are associated with rain and snow.
What type of air pressure is associated with a occluded front?
Low 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.
Does the Intertropical Convergence Zone have high pressure with rising air?
Low pressure is associated with rising air. The ITCZ is an area of low pressure.
Why do most storm systems happen in areas of low pressure?
A typhoon is a very intense low pressure system. Most storms are associated with low pressure. A typhoon is one name for a type of low-pressure system called a tropical cyclone. Such systems are fueled by warm, moist air. The rising air in the system creates low pressure, which draws in more air to act as fuel.
What is the normal air pressure during a thunderstorm?
Thunderstorms are usually associated with low pressure.
Which type of pressure is associated with cool rising air?
low pressure. because warm air is less dense. so it's pressure is also low.( less dense because because of the heat( warm air = hot air) the molecules of the air is very active. so the the are not close to each other which means less dense)
What is air pressure zone that is associated with rising air near the equator?
Equatorial Low
