Is the pressure greater on the inside or outside of the plane?

the pressure is high out side the plane because the air moves around quickly.


What is an offshore breeze?

Wind is caused by differences in air pressure. An offshore breeze is the result of high pressure over land, and low pressure over the water. The high pressure air moves toward the lower pressure air. Or...if you just had this question on a test in the Ebus workbook, then the correct answer is B) Land mass has cooled down.


Does air flow from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure?

Air will flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Pressure = force/area. So in this context, air pressure is the force the particles in that area exert on the space around them (let's imagine they're in a box). As air particles whizz around, they will collide with the edges of the box, so bouncing off and changing direction. This direction change involves a lot of acceleration (though speed may be the same, velocity (which is speed in a specific DIRECTION) will be very different. Physics tells us F=MA. Therefore, this acceleration will equate to a force on the outside world. This force will therefore be proportional to the number of particles in the area (more particles = more area). So, if an area of high pressure has lots of particles, there will be a spreading out of these particles to areas of low particles (diffusion, and energy's natural tendency to spread out). Alternatively, think of it as particles in the high pressure area pushing against the particles from the low area, and they're pushing force being greater, so they win! There you have a very long winded answer for why air moves from high pressure to low pressure!


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.


How does wind exist?

Wind exists because of two main forces: The rotation of the earth, and the heat and light from the sun. The rotation of the earth causes wind because the natural tendency of air molecules is to stay still. The earth essentially is moving, and the air is essentially staying where it is, creating the illusion that the air is moving. This is called "the Coriolis Effect". The Coriolis effect is what causes the constant unchanging winds used by sailing ships. The heat from the sun is responsible for almost all of earth's weather, except for those mentioned above. The sun's heat causes the air molecules to become excited, and lack of heat makes the molecules stand still. Excited molecules expand, and create High Pressure. Still molecules contract and create low pressure. When high pressure air moves in to fill in the slight vacuum created by low pressure air, it creates wind. In short HOT AIR = HIGH PRESSURE COLD AIR = LOW PRESSURE HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO GET TO WHERE THERE IS LESS PRESSURE.

What is an area of high pressure where air moves aparts and sinks?

An area of high pressure where the air moves apart and sinks is an anticyclone.


How do high and low pressures create?

Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure (in order to equalise the pressure). When air moves, it is called wind.

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.

What is wind the result of?

Wind is the result of differences in pressure in the atmosphere and flows between air masses. It moves from high-pressure to low-pressure regions, in an attempt to even out all different barometric pressures.


Air moves from which pressure systems towards which other pressure systems?

Air moves from high pressure systems toward low pressure systems. This movement is the cause for the winds.
