Which type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High pressure.
What is the area around the equator where trade winds meet called?
The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called
What type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High presure
What is the low pressure area around equator?
The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
What clock direction do anticlonic winds move in the southern hemishphere?
Anticyclonic winds - those circulating around an area of high pressure - move counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
How are winds affected by areas of high pressure?
In zones where air ascends, the air is less dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of low pressure. Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and so the surface winds would tend to blow toward a low pressure center. In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the southern hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.
Why do winds blow in a direction?
Winds are simply air that is 'sucked' from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.
Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
What is the system of rapidly circulating winds around center of low pressure that usually brings rain?
The system of rapidly circulating winds around a center of low pressure that usually brings rain is called a low-pressure area. A low-pressure area may cause a cyclone, such as a tropical cyclone or a mid-latitude cyclone.
Which type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High pressure.
Winds are generated when air flows from a high pressure area into a what?
low pressure area.
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral?
Anticyclone
What is the area around the equator where trade winds meet?
the area around the equator where trade winds meet is called the doldrums.
What is the area around the equator where trade winds meet called?
The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called

The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
