Because since theyre is lack of heat to excite the molecules and keep them appart, the molecules tend to be closer together and denser then hotter air. Imagine a lava lamp the denser part sinks(low pressure) while the less dense part rises.

In what pressure area does cold denser air sink?
Low
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 :)
Why does hot air exerts low pressure?
Because warm air is less dense than cold air.
Is wind related to air temperature and air pressure?
A low pressure region should mean that the region is low in air. The air from the surrounding region (which is comparatively at higher pressure) moves into this low pressure region creating a wind. So, wind is the movement of air from a high pressure region into a low pressure region. Warm air is lighter than cold air. Warm air being lighter moves upward creating a low pressure region. So, wind could also be a movement of air from cooler to warmer region.
What cause low and high pressure?
Heat and cold air.
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.
Why is air presure low when air is cold?
High pressure in weather is cold, and low pressure is hot.
What pressure does cold air exert?
Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
Why is air pressure low when air is cold?
asdfg
Do regions of cold are have low air pressure?
yes.
Why is air pressure low when the air is cold?
Because the atoms of air molecules move slower when the weather is cold, thus making the air pressure to lower.
Is cold air aloft associated with low or high pressure?
Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.
In what pressure area does cold denser air sink?
Low
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 :)
Rising rising air have high or low air pressure?
Low pressure It's not actually the low pressure air that rises up. The counterclockwise circulation around the low pulls cool air from up north down and forms a cold front that usually extends south of the low. This cold air runs into the warm air in front of the system that is being drawn up from the south from the counterclockwise circulation. The cold air forces the warm air to rise because the cold air is more dense. This warm air rises and produces rain.
How is temperature and pressure realated?
High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.
How low is low?
In meteorology low is the cold air low pressure system that often brings more bad weather do to the lower barometric pressure.
