From what pressure to what pressure does the global wind go?

Wind is created by air pressure, there's a law in meteorology, winds will usually blow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. That's what this question would be asking for.


Winds spiral out from areas of?

High pressure areas


Does wind always blow from high pressure to low pressure?

Yes, winds always blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.


Do fronts occur in areas of high pressure?

No, not really. Winds tend to blow out of the High pressure areas to low pressure areas. This causes the clouds to follow the winds and that is the reason why you would expect a nice sunny weather when a high pressure area moves over you.


Does Winds generally blow:Toward areas of high pressure.?

yes


What causes some winds to be strong and some winds to be weak?

pressure gradient forces high in low pressure areas?


Winds are produced when there is a different in what?

Winds are produced when there is a difference in atmospheric pressure. Air moves from areas of high pressure in the atmosphere to areas of low pressure. This movement of air is experienced as wind.


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.


What is air moving in a specific direction?

From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Hope this helps! :)


Wind moves from areas of high temp to low temp?

Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally. Winds actually move from areas with higher pressure levels to areas with lower pressure levels, horizontally.


What is two pressure systems that would cause the strongest winds?

High pressure systems and high anticyclone regions produce the strongest winds. This is because the pressure gradients are much larger in these areas.


How do the winds in a high pressure system blow?

High Pressure Areas has little to none winds at all, but to give you some idea, the air in the High Pressure Area literally flow outward due to high density air near the center and friction to the land. Unlike storms, High Pressure Are releases winds outward on a clockwise rotation. Comparing it to magnet, High Pressure Area winds flow to Low Pressure Areas. It's due to unlike densities of the air masses. High Pressure Area contains drier and cooler so it will flow to Low Pressure Area where warmer and more moist.
