Is air pressure higher or lower in warm areas?
higher
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Air pressure is affected by temperature.?
Yes, air pressure is affected by temperature.When the temperature is higher the air pressure lowers and the weight of the air is lower. When air is warmer the molecules sperate and there are less molecules that can cause pressure.
What is the pressure like on each of the atmosphere?
The higher you go up the lower the pressure but less air
How does strong wind occur?
Strong winds occur when there is a steep gradient in air pressure, i.e. if the difference in air pressure is large, the air moves from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure at a considerable rate, or velocity.
Is air pressure higher at higher elevation?
Lower. There is less air pressure pushing down on you, than say, a deep sea diver
Would the air pressure in the center of a hurricane be lower or higher than standard air pressure?
higher
How does differental heating affect air pressure?
It affects the air pressure because the more higher level you have the more air pressure and the lower you have the lower the air pressure will be.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of all the air stacked up above you. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the pressure is lower.
Is air pressure higher or lower in warm areas?
higher
What happen to the air pressure in a higher altitude?
The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.
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.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
What happens to the sind speed as the air pressure gets lower..why?
It increases. High pressure air always moves toward low pressure areas. When there is low pressure, the high pressure moves in, and the movement of air creates wind.
Does fast moving air have lower or higher pressure?
it has higher pressure when air rises and air decreases it forms air pressure
How a pressure difference is responsible for the movement of air?
The pressure pushes it around depending on how high or low the air pressure is.ANSWERAir moves from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. If you have a water balloon and you squeeze it, the area where your fingers are is similar to a high pressure zone. The water then flows away from your fingers to the lower pressure areas of the balloon. That is how air flows in the atmosphere. Things such as humidity and temperature differences cause the different pressure zones, and the air flows from high pressure areas to lower pressure ones.
