Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
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.
Why does wind flow from areas of high pressure to those of low pressure?
Sana Karenza says: Well it flows to that area because it's low pressure, low meaning closer to the earth's center.
Do the winds move toward a high-pressure area or away from it?
Divergent
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral outward?
When an area of low pressure is created with strong winds that spiral towards the center, a tropical cyclone is being formed. The spiral arrangement of thunderstorms produces heavy rain.
Why do winds blow in a direction?
Winds are simply air that is 'sucked' from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure?
Winds circulate around an area of high pressure.
Are winds stronger near a high pressure area or a low pressure area?
low pressure
Which type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High pressure.
Wind is generated in response to?
Wind is generated in response to the uneven heating of Earth's atmosphere by the sun. As air is heated, it expands and rises, creating areas of low pressure. Wind then moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas to balance out these pressure differences, resulting in the flow of air that we feel as wind.
Area of higher pressure with winds that spiral?
Anticyclone
What type of pressure area do winds blow out of?
High presure

What are the locations of windfarms?
The location of most wind farms are coastal, in order to take advantage of thermal winds generated there. Other locations that generate relatively constant thermal winds are large, elevated, relatively flat desert areas; The area of the great lakes; and some mountain passes where wind flows reliably.
Why does wind flow from areas of high pressure to those of low pressure?
Sana Karenza says: Well it flows to that area because it's low pressure, low meaning closer to the earth's center.
What fluids flow?
a fluid naturally flows from an area of the high pressure to an are of low pressure.
