Why is air presure low when air is cold?

High pressure in weather is cold, and low pressure is hot.


How is temperature and pressure realated?

High temperatures coincide with low pressure and low temperatures coincide with high pressure. Cold air is heavier than warm air and has a higher pressure with it.


When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is what A low because cold air is not as dense as warm air B high because cold air is denser than warm air C neither high nor low?

When cold air moves into an area, we have high atmospheric pressure; the cold air is denser than the warm air. Love, me :)


Is high pressure warm front or cold front?

warm front is low pressure , cold front high pressure . because it pushes down on the surface (because cold air sinks) it makes high pressure .

What does the low pressure air mass do?

The Low Pressure Air Mass is the active feature of Our Atmosphere, air rises at it's center.The High Pressure Air Mass exists where-ever the Low does not: Air rising at the center of Lows descends at the centers of High Pressure Systems.The Low Pressure Air Mass acts as a Heat Pump that takes Heat North and Cold South.

Is cold air aloft associated with low or high pressure?

Cold air aloft is associated with a surface low pressure system. The reverse is true for warm air aloft. In a baroclinic low pressure system, the upper-level low/trough is usually situated over the cold air, while upper level highs/ridges are around warm air aloft.


What pressure does cold air exert?

Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.
