Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.

How does air pressure like to move?

air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.


How does a hovercraft stay hovering?

slow-moving, low-pressured air is blown onto the floor using vents and fans


Does air move from high pressure or to low to high?

high to low


What cause the movement of the air?

Differences in air temperature and pressure usually cause wind, otherwise any kinetic energy can cause the movement of air. High pressure goes to low pressure, hot to cold. High temperatures have low pressures and low temperatures have high temperatures. Wind goes to low pressured areas to fill them in.


What happens to air when there is an area of lower pressure nearby?

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 will move from a high pressure to a low pressure area?

Air.


What change occurs as the submersible descends into the mariana trench?

marian trench gets more pressured because its air goes high and low beacause it is more big


Why are you able to move so easily through a gas such as air?

I am able to move easily through air because I am a gas with very low density, allowing me to move freely between the particles of the air. Additionally, I do not experience much resistance as I move through the gas due to my atomic size and structure.


Does air move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?

No, it does not.


Do low pressure systems move inward or outward?

Low pressure systems typically move inward, with air converging towards the center of the system. This convergence of air at the center results in rising air, cloud formation, and potentially precipitation.


How does air flow from high to low pressure?

Air flows from high to low pressure due to the natural tendency of air molecules to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. This movement creates a pressure gradient, causing air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure until equilibrium is reached.


Does low pressure move inward or outward?

Low pressure moves inward. Air flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, causing air to converge towards a low-pressure system.
