Low pressure and high pressure are not absolute. You find those pressures at any place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

Does Mars have Air pressure?

Yes, Mars has a very thin atmosphere that results in low air pressure compared to Earth. The average surface pressure on Mars is about 0.6% of Earth's air pressure at sea level.


Does the atmosphere cause water level to rise up?

It can do. Winds in the atmosphere cause waves. Also the low pressure in the centre of a depression can cause a elevation in sea level called a storm surge.


Where does low pressure go in the atmosphere?

down


Is the air pressure in the mesosphere high or low?

The air pressure in the mesosphere is low compared to the pressure at lower altitudes. This is because the mesosphere is located at an altitude where the density of the atmosphere is much lower, resulting in lower air pressure.


How does air travel from high to low pressure in the atmosphere during flight?

Air travels from high to low pressure in the atmosphere during flight through the process of air movement known as wind. Wind is created by the pressure differences between high and low pressure systems, causing air to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement of air helps to balance out the pressure differences in the atmosphere.


What planet has an atmosphere has low air and mostly carbon?

Mars has an atmosphere with low air pressure which is mostly carbon dioxide.


When it rains what kind of pressure is in the atmosphere?

Rain most often occurs with low pressure.


Which inner planet has an atmosphere with low air pressure?

Mars


What is low atmospheric pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air in the earths atmosphere that is above you. At sea level this pressure is said to be 1 bar or one atmosphere. Now, as you go up a mountain there is less air above you and thus the atmospheric pressure is less and the pressure you experience because of your altitude is said to be your local atmospheric pressure. However, the earths atmosphere is heated by the sun and moves in eddies to the poles where it is cooled and flows back to the equator - this is called the weather. When you have hot air above you it is less heavy than cold air so, as the atmosphere blows over you, the pressure of the air changes and you can work out if the air above you is hot or cold by comparing the measure you measure against your local atmospheric pressure.


What is the pressure in the mesosphere?

The pressure in the mesosphere is very low, around 0.1 millibars at the bottom of the mesosphere and decreasing even further with altitude. This low pressure is due to the thinning of the atmosphere at higher altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere.


How can pressure differences in Earth's atmosphere contribute to winds?

Pressure differences in Earth's atmosphere create areas of high and low pressure. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure, creating wind. The greater the pressure difference between two areas, the stronger the resulting winds will be.


Does air go from high to low or low to high?

Air tends to flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement occurs in an attempt to equalize pressure differences in the atmosphere.
