Both pressures create storms. The movement of air from high pressure to low pressure causes water to condense and form clouds. When the clouds become oversaturated they release water which falls to the ground as rain, snow, or hail. The lightning is caused when the different charges of the ground and cloud cause the electrons to move to equalize it. This electron movement is lightning. The high winds are from various processes including cold air being pulled down by precipitation (called a downburst or microburst), by pressure gradients around a mesocyclone (which causes a rear flank downdraft or RFD). Tornadoes are formed by the tightening and intensification of a mesocyclone.
The vast majority of storms, however, are associated with or are themselves low pressure systems.

What are subpolar lows?
Low pressure points located above each of the poles on Earth, these low pressure points create many storms Apex: Convergence of westerlies and polar easterlies
What helps create both metamorphic rock and sedimentary rocks?
cementation
Is high pressure systems associated with storms and precipitation?
No, High Pressure usually keeps the weather nice. Low pressure is the one that makes the storms.
What kind of pressure is associated with thunder storms?
Low pressure system, very low! Low pressure=air coming inward=lifting of air=bad weather/instability...
Does low pressure cause unsettled weather?
Yes, all storms are formed in low pressure systems, and low pressure systems will frequently cause storms and precipitation.
Do tornadoes create storms?
No. Storms and hurricanes can create tornados.
Do precipitation and storms occur in high-pressure systems?
No low pressure systems is where storms occur
How do storms differ in low pressure and high pressure systems?
There are no storms in high pressure systems. That's where the clear skies are.
Do tsunamis create storms?
No.

What atmospheric conditions cause the thunder storm?
This doesn't just only apply to the thunderstorm, this applies to all storms: Most storms form in some sort of low pressure area. Of course, there is the fact that some storms are lake-effect, which means that they don't require low pressure areas, however low pressure can strengthen these storms.
What storm does not have a low pressure closure?
thunder storms
Do hurricanes form when there is high pressure or low pressure?
Like other storms hurricane are produce by low pressure.
