A stationary front would be associated with an area of low pressure (high pressure does not have fronts).

What is the pressure of a stationary front?

A stationary front is a boundary between two air masses that are not moving, so there is no specific pressure associated with a stationary front. The pressure can vary depending on the characteristics of the air masses on either side of the front.


Is a stationary front a low pressure system or a high pressure system?

Fronts being the boundaries between two air masses - one warmer than the other - they are named for whichever air mass is advancing on the other. Cold air pushes in behind a cold front, and likewise a warm front has colder air retreating. If the boundary has stalled and neither air mass is pushing back the other, you have a stationary front.


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 symbols represent a cold front Warm front Low pressure High pressure?

A cold front is represented by a blue line with triangles pointing towards the warmer air mass. A warm front is represented by a red line with semi-circles pointing towards the colder air mass. Low pressure is represented by an L on a weather map, while high pressure is represented by an H.


Is high pressure warm front or cold front?

A high pressure system is associated with clear skies, calm weather, and generally fair conditions. It is not directly associated with either a warm front or a cold front, although high pressure systems may bring warmer temperatures depending on the season and location.

How are the terms front and air mass different?

Air mass - refers to any area of high or low pressure. A front - is the point at which an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure.


What is the zone where high pressure areas and low pressure areas meet?

The zone is called a front. There are a few types of fronts. They are: cold front, warm front, occluded front & stationary front.

Air mass - refers to any area of high or low pressure. A front - is the point at which an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure.


Is wind and a front similar?

Not necessarily. Wind - is simply air moving from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area. A front - is the leading edge of a weather system.

What does a High on a weather map mean?

A high on a weather map indicates a high pressure area. This indicates a new weather front is moving into that area.


You are located within a stationary high pressure area. Your aneroid barameter is falling very slowly. This indicates a?

large increse in wind velocity


How do fronts and low pressur help each other?

Low pressure centers attract fronts because the front (whether it be cold or warm) wants to move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. This stabalizes the area.

When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?

When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.
