Winds, which are in fact the various types of movements of the air, play a very important role in the nature. Wind is a very important weather phenomenon . The science of winds tells that winds are formed due to the irregular
High Pressure
An area is called high-pressure area when the atmospheric of that particular area gets higher than the other areas surrounding the particular point. High pressure is related to hot winds. Warm winds are lighter than the cold winds.
Low Pressure
Low pressure is just the opposite of high pressure. In this case the atmospheric pressure becomes very low in a particular place compared to the surrounding area. This area is called low-pressure area. Low pressure has various types of the characteristics such as Tropical storms, sub polar cyclones, extra tropical cyclones, sub arctic cyclones and so on.
