yes this is true.
this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater

What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
Are dunes caused by winds?
Yes sand dunes are caused by winds
Whats are three things that can set air in motion?
Differences in moisture, temperature, and pressure cause air to move from one location to another. Upper level winds can also influence air movement closer to the ground.
Why are upper winds stronger than surface wind?
Surface winds are slowed by friction caused by topography as well as the built environment.
What is an area of high air pressure with winds that spiral outward?
anticlones
Are winds caused by differences in air pressure?
Yes!
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
What are winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.
What kind of currents cause wind?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure not currents. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure.
Differences in air pressure creates?
Winds.
Which force generates winds?
Pressure differences
What happens to the air when the air pressure differences are small?
When pressure differences are small you get light winds.
Winds are caused by?
air pressure
Local winds differ from global winds because they?
Are caused by differences in cloud cover
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure?
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure.
