Why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?

The different "layers" are classifications of horizontal sections of the atmosphere, volumes which exhibit different attributes. The high and low pressure regions are areas where the atmosphere is thicker or thinner.

What is the reason you categorize the atmosphere into different layers?
Density of air decreases on increasing height, hence we categorize the atmosphere into different layers from Troposhere to Ionosphere at particular kilometers respectively.
Where does air tend to flow?
In the atmosphere, to different areas of pressure
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
Does air pressure change with altitude?
The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.
Why doesnt air temperature change uniformly with altitude?
Altitude doesn't change uniformly because the four main layers of the atmosphere have different temperature gradients, creating the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
What causes the layers in the atmosphere?
because there are different pressures in the air.
What is the reason you categorize the atmosphere into different layers?

What is the main different in how the layers of earth atmosphere are classified?
The temperature and air pressures.
What are the different scope of the environment?
The different scopes of the environment are atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Atmosphere is the three layers of the air that envelop the earth.
Where does air tend to flow?
In the atmosphere, to different areas of pressure
How are all layers of the atmosphere alike?
All the layers of atmosphere are alike. They all contain air.
Why the higher the elevation the less atmosphere?
the atmospheric pressure can be considered as the pressure, exerted a columnna air over you, you imagine that this column goes from the limits of ammosfera to you, it's great right? the more we climbed the column of air is made smaller for at that the atmospheric pressure decreases.
How wind generated?
Different pressure levels in the atmosphere so the air moves to try to balance the pressure
Why Does atmospheric pressure decreased as you climb a mountain?
The atmosphere is full of layers and when you are at ground level, you have a maximum amount of air above you, but when you climb the mountain, the amount of air decreases and thus the pressure Hope that was helpful!
Why can't a hot air balloon go to any of the other layers of the atmosphere?
because the air inside the balloon is heavier than the air outside in the other layers of the atmosphere
What is the layer covering the earth?
There are different names for different layers, but the name we use when talking about them all is the atmosphere.The names of the different layers are as following (from nearest-to-earth's-surface to the most far away):TroposphereStratosphereMesosphereThermosphereExosphere
How do you spell atmosphere?
That is the correct spelling of "atmosphere" (the layers of air around the Earth).
