Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
Area of low pressure where masses meet and rise?
Cyclones is the area of low pressure
Why is cool air an area of low pressure?
Cool air is an area of low pressure because temperature is directly proportional to pressure. So when the pressure is low, the air is cool (low temperature).
What is a stationary front an area of high or low pressure?
A stationary front would be associated with an area of low pressure (high pressure does not have fronts).
What is the name of air flowing from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Wind

low pressure
Do clouds rise in the center of a low pressure or high pressure area?
Air rises in a low pressure area and sinks in a high pressure area.
Area of low pressure where masses meet and rise?
Cyclones is the area of low pressure
How is low pressure area developed?
A low pressure area is caused by a drop in temperature in the atmosphere.
Why is cool air an area of low pressure?
Cool air is an area of low pressure because temperature is directly proportional to pressure. So when the pressure is low, the air is cool (low temperature).
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
Does vacuum refer to an area that has high or low pressure?
Low pressure
What moves from a high pressure area to a low pressure area?
Air.
What is a stationary front an area of high or low pressure?
A stationary front would be associated with an area of low pressure (high pressure does not have fronts).
What is produced from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure?
Diffusion occurs when an area of high pressure meets an area of low pressure. They mix together and create an equilibrium, all particles spread out equally.
What Is another name for a center of high pressure?
Another name for a center of high pressure is an anticyclone. This means that the air is not moving in a circle. Very low pressure is called a cyclone. When the two air masses meet there is the potential for tornadoes.
