Pressure is the amount of force exerted on a given area.did it help sorry if it didn't.

Because the smaller the surface area, the more pressure has to be used, and the bigger the surface area, the less pressure you have to use.

How do pressure belts affect climate?

Pressure belts affect climate by controlling where weather fronts travel. If a large area of high pressure is present, it will prevent a lower pressure system from entering and divert it.


Does an industrial piercing affect certain pressure points?

No. The pressure point in that area is actually pretty far behind your ear, so having an industrial will not affect it.


What factors affect evaporation rate sientific answer?

Vapor pressure of the liquid, ambient pressure, temperature, and surface area of the liquid.


How does low and high pressure affect the weather?

High pressure means there is going to be rain in that area. Low means the opposite.


How does the factors affect evaporation explain?

- vapours tension- temperature- pressure- area exposed to atmosphere


Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?

Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.


What factors affect pressure and density in the atmosphere and oceans?

Pressure in the atmosphere is affected by area and force.Density on the other hand is affected by the mass and volume of water in the ocean.


How does temperature create a high pressure area and a low pressure area?

Heat affect the gasses' molecules and atoms which make it spread and expand which increases the volume. If the volume is constant as in a closed system then the pressure will increase and decrease along with temperature in a extrusive relation.


What are the factors thet affect pressure?

Factors that affect pressure include the volume of a container (increased volume leads to decreased pressure), the temperature of a gas (increased temperature leads to increased pressure), the number of gas molecules present (more molecules lead to increased pressure), and the force applied to an area.


How does surface area and force affect pressure?

Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.


How does high and low pressures affect weather?

High pressure means there is going to be rain in that area. Low means the opposite.
