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 defines low air pressure and where is low air pressure typically found?
There is low air pressure usually when you are up in a mountain or in an airplane like when your ears pop after you get in an airplane and you are at high altitude your ears do this because the pressure inside your ears and the pressure in the air is not the same. When there low air pressure the air is less dense.
Is there low air pressure or high air pressure in the eye of a hurricane?
Hurricanes are intense areas of low pressure.
Is warm air low or high air pressure?
low
Why is a low-pressure system called a low-pressure system?
In a low pressure system, the air pressure, which is the force with which the air presses down, is lower than what it normally is. Hence, it is called a low-pressure system.
What causes winds to blow?
Well, it has to do with high pressure, low pressure, horse latitudes and doldrums.
Are horse latitudes low pressure regions?
Horse latitudes, which are between roughly 30-35 degrees North and South latitude, are areas typically characterized by high pressure. In what is known as the three-cell global circulation model, air rises at the equator, sinks at 30-35 N and S, rises again around 60N and 60S, and sinks at the poles. Since pressure is related to the weight of the air pushing down from above, sinking air is often associated with high pressure.
What are low pressure systems in the middle latitudes called?
longitude
What latitudes cause warm air masses in summer and cold ones in winter?
Low latitudes
What low pressure systems that heavily influence weather in the middle latitudes are?
polar easterlies

Why are most deserts found on 30 degrees latitude?
The 30 degree latitude area is at the high pressure region developed by the sinking air from the Hadley Cell created by the low pressure rising air at the equator. Winds move from high to low pressure areas. The doldrums are located at the equator, this is a low pressure area. When the air sinks at the 30 degree latitude air moves away from the 30 toward the equator and 60 degree latitudes. Since air does not move toward the 30, there is no way to bring the maritime air masses to those desert areas.
What is a low air pressure?
A low pressure air mass is called a cyclonic depression.
Are storms often caused by low air pressure or high air pressure?
low air pressure because it said in the book general science that almost all stors are caused by low air pressure.
Is there low air pressure or high air pressure in the eye of a hurricane?
Hurricanes are intense areas of low pressure.
Does Air flows towards low pressure regions?
Air does generally flow from high pressure to low pressure.
