How does high air pressure form?

When air sinks, the air pressure is higher because it is pushing down on the ground.

300

How does a warm front form?

A warm air mass slides over a cool air mass

300

How does a cold front form?

A cold air mass takes the place of a warm air mass

300

How does a stationary front form?

A cold or warm front stops moving

300

How does an occluded front form?

A warm air mass pushes into a colder air mass, and then another cold air mass pushes into the warm air mass

300

How does low air pressure form?

When air lifts, the air pressure is low because less pressure is exerted on the ground.
