The thing that is low pressure is air.
When a meteorologist says that there is an area of "Low Pressure" he is saying that there is a low air pressure in an area or, more exactly, that there is less air per cubic unit than there is in surrounding areas.
So, if neutrally pressured air met with low pressured air the neutrally pressured or comparatively condensed air, a.k.a "high pressure" air would fall downward until it reached a state of equilibrium. And attaining equilibrium by both mixing with the surrounding air and falling to an altitude of similar air pressure.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when area of contact is increased?
When area of contact increases between two objects, then the pressure applied decreases. Here is the formula: Pressure(Pascals)=Force(newtons)/area(metre2)
If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure
What force is drinking out of straw?
It is all to do with air pressure. We lower the air pressure inside the straw by sucking the air out of it, atmospheric pressure which is pushing down on the surface of the drink literally forces it up the straw into our mouth.
Force that acts over a certain area is called?
Pressure
What is the unit of measure for atmospheric pressure most commonly found on weather maps?
Pressure is shown with white curvy lines. The closer the lines are to each other in a certain area, the higher the pressure is. The farter apart they are, the lower the pressure is in that area.
What happens air hits an area of lower pressure?
It will fill the area of lower pressure, expanding and slightly cooling until the pressure of the area and it's surrounding are equal.
What happens when air hits an area of lower pressure?
Air flows from higher pressure to lower pressure, creating winds as it moves to balance out the pressure difference. This movement of air is known as wind, and it is responsible for weather patterns and changes in the atmosphere.
How dos wind start?
Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.
When coastal land is warmer than the nearby water what type of breeze forms?
Along Coastlines, warmer air relates to lower air pressure, thus air flows from the higher-pressure, cooler setting into the area of lower air pressure. If the land is warmer, it has lower air pressure. Air over the sea would therefore be cooler and thus have higher atmospheric pressure, and the air will naturally from from the higher pressure (in this case, from over the ocean) to the lower pressure (over the warmer land).So you get a wind from the water onto the land, or a sea breeze.
What is the relationship between force area and pressure?
pressure = force / area Therefore pressure and force are directly proportional, meaning... The greater the force the greater the pressure and the lower the force the lower the pressure
IS The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called diffusion?
No, the movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is not called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called filtration. Filtration is a passive process driven by the pressure difference across a membrane.
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is?
The movement of gas through a small hole into an area of lower pressure is diffusion.
Molecules from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure?
Yes. Everything "flows downhill" in that sense, going toward the lower pressure, temperature, concentration, energy level, etc.
What is an area called where the air pressure is lower than the area around it?
a-plus a low pressure system
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
In which direction does cool air move by water?
It will always move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure.
Can you produce a lower pressure by decreasing the area a force acts on?
Yes, the pressure is inversely proportional to the area over which a force is applied. Decreasing the area that a force acts on will result in a lower pressure. This relationship is defined by the equation Pressure = Force / Area.
