High pressure zones are created by a phenomenon called subsidence. Subsidence occurs whenever the air in the high cools, becomes denser and moves towards the ground. Pressure increases here because more air fills the space left from the low. Subsidence also evaporates most of the atmosphere's water vapor so high pressure systems are usually associated with clear skies and calm weather.

Which ocean zone is characterized by high water pressure low temperatures and no sunlight?

The ocean zone characterized by high water pressure, low temperatures, and no sunlight is the hadal zone. This zone extends from depths of 19,685 to 36,100 feet (6,000 to 11,000 meters) and is found in deep ocean trenches. Organisms living in this zone must adapt to extreme conditions, such as lack of sunlight and high pressure.
