What directions would polar and tropical air masses move in the southern hempisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere, polar air masses typically move from the south towards the north, while tropical air masses move from the north towards the south. The Coriolis effect causes these air masses to be deflected: polar air tends to move more towards the east, while tropical air is also deflected eastward but generally retains a more southerly trajectory. This results in a complex interaction between the two air masses, influencing weather patterns in the region.
What happens to an aneroid barometer when air pressure changes?
When air pressure increases, the metal aneroid capsule in the barometer contracts, causing the needle to move towards high pressure. Conversely, when air pressure decreases, the metal capsule expands, causing the needle to move towards low pressure. This movement of the needle indicates changes in atmospheric pressure.
Where does low pressured air move to?
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.
Do isobars help you predict which way the air will move?
Yes they do. Scientists make maps with isobars on them.
Why do winds spiral towards the center of the hurricane?
Winds spiral towards the center of a hurricane due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As air rushes in towards the low-pressure center of the storm, the Coriolis effect deflects the moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating a spiraling motion.
How can a hot air balloon move towards the wind?
hot air rises up
Does cold air move towards warm air?
Yes, cold air tends to move towards warm air because of the difference in air pressure and temperature. This motion creates air currents and wind patterns in the atmosphere as the warmer air rises and the cooler air sinks to replace it.
How does cold air move towards hot air in a natural process?
Cold air moves towards hot air in a natural process due to the principle of convection. Convection occurs when the colder, denser air sinks and displaces the warmer, lighter air, causing the cold air to move towards the hot air. This movement helps to equalize the temperature differences between the two air masses.
In which direction does an air mass move?
Towards a region of lower pressure.
Why do freely suspended balloons move towards while blowing air?
If the balloon is exhausting air, then it will move in a direction opposite to the exhaust gas.
Why do air masses move from the polar regions towards the equator?
Air masses move from the polar regions towards the equator due to the temperature difference between the two areas. Warmer air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure area, while cooler air at the poles sinks, creating a high-pressure area. This pressure difference causes air to move from high to low pressure, resulting in the general movement of air masses towards the equator.
Why freely suspended balloon move towards while blowing air?
force
How does the propeller on a light aircraft make the move?
The blades on the propeller are angled in such a way that, while they are turning, they push air backwards towards the tail of the aircraft. This 'pulls' the aircraft forwards - and the air flowing over the wings lifts the plane into the air.
What are spiders of?
Newspapers. Slippers. Hair Spray. lol Actually, air movement around a spider is what usually causes them to move; that is their defense mechanism. They feel air moving towards them on their body hair, and that causes them to get out of the way.

Where does warm air always want to go?
Warm air always wants to move towards cooler air, as it seeks to balance out the temperature difference.
How does geography affect temperature?
it land shape can move air masses towards or away form it.
