High and low pressures, Paragliding in Lanzarote

When the air particles begin to descend in certain areas of the planet they are piled up as in an hourglass, forming high pressures. These particles will travel towards the low pressures that are formed where the air rises due to having a higher temperature. Due to the rotation of the Earth these movements are spiraling. These pressure zones determine the direction and intensity of the wind and are the cause of good weather in the Canary Islands. With the Island of Lanzarote as a stage "The Flying Islands" explains how these movements of air develop. Narrated by bruce Goldsmith
