Why is high pressure at the pole?

it is because air sinks at the poles


After high pressure areas are created around the poles cold polar air flows toward?

After high-pressure areas are formed around the poles, cold polar air flows towards lower pressure regions. This movement of air is known as advection, and it helps to balance out the pressure differences between the poles and lower latitudes.


How do convection cells Earth's atmosphere cause high- and low- pressure belts?

The convection cells radiate heat.


How do convection cells in earths atmosphere cause high-and low- pressure belts?

The convection cells radiate heat.


Why is there high air pressure at the poles?

Because cold air is denser than warm air.


What is subtropical high pressure?

it is found over the north and south poles


Why does the air fall at the poleS?

Air falls at the poles due to the cooling of air, which increases its density causing it to sink. In addition, high pressure systems tend to form at the poles, leading to the downward motion of air.


Where are high pressure zones in the world?

High pressure zones are typically found around 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres, known as the subtropical highs. They are also found at the poles, known as the polar highs. Additionally, there are high pressure systems associated with descending air in regions of surface high pressure, such as the Siberian High and the Bermuda High.


Why is the atmospheric pressure less at the poles?

Atmospheric pressure is lower at the poles compared to the equator because of the Earth's shape and rotation. The polar regions receive less direct sunlight, causing the air to be cooler and denser. This creates high-pressure systems that lead to lower atmospheric pressure.
