Is rarefaction a high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
No. A rarefaction is the region of a sound wave where the particles are spread out rather than close together. The closer together regions are compressions. These terms are used about waves in air, not weather systems.
How could pressure difference in earths atmosphere contribute to winds?
The pressure difference works this way. You literally have more air molecules in a given area, a "high" pressure front. The air wants to reach equilibrium, so it flows to a "low" pressure, or less air molecules in the same given area, front. What you feel is air molecules moving from one area to another, or wind.
What happens to pressure of the force exerted on a given area increases?
The pressure exerted outward by fluids in your body balances the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of your body. the pressure increases
What happens in a high-pressure system?
air molecules are close together and pressure on Earth's surface
How do you read isobars?
The isobars form layered rings on the weather map.The closer the layers of the rings are to eachother, the lower the air pressure in that area is. The further apart they are the higher the air pressure. The closer the isobars are, the stronger the wind is. The air pressure is also depicted by letters. In an area where the isobars show that it has a high pressure, a 'H' will be in the the centre circle. If there is low air pressure there will be an 'L'. Air pressure is the density of air molecules. High air pressure is heaps of air molecules close together. Low air pressure is when they are far apart. When the air pressure changes from high to low, wind is created.
Is a low pressure area of loosely packed molecules?
Compression
What is the high pressure area of tightly packed molecules?
Rarefaction

What is it called when the movement of air molecules from an area of air pressure to an area of low air pressure?
Wind.
What is a low-pressure system and what is a high-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
The force of air molecules pushing on an area?
Air pressure.
What is the difference between a high-pressure system and A low pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between high-pressure system and a low-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the bunching together of air molecules known as?
High pressure area.
Why does a large area give small pressure?
because they are not closely packed. it also depends on the state of matter.
