What is atmospheric air pressure?

Answer 1

Pressure caused by the atmoshere pushing down.it also deceases as you get higher up in elevation... Pressure caused by the atmoshere pushing down.it also deceases as you get higher up in elevation...

Answer 2

1. air pressure is mainly of two types high pressure and low pressuring speed of air increase over a surface , a low pressure is created.
2. which was discovered by Daniel Bernoulli it was called the Bernoulli's principle

Answer 3

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth's atmosphere. In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. Low-pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location, whereas high-pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Likewise, as elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that pressure decreases with increasing elevation. A column of air one square centimetre in cross-section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, has a mass of about a kilogram and a weight of 9.8 N (2.2 lbs) (and a column one square inch in cross-section would weigh about

Answer 4

The force of air pressing down on Earth's surface
