Where can you see the atmosphere clearly?

You can usually see the atmosphere clearly during the day time. And, only if you are on top of a high surface, such as a mountain top.


Could you describe the village in the young warriors?

Describe mountain top peak


What is the corner mountain called?

The term you may be looking for is "peak" or "summit." These are often used to describe the top point of a mountain.


Is it possible for a mountain to be so tall as to not have snow at the top?

If it were to go beyond the atmosphere there would be no snow, but no mountain on Earth will ever get close to that tall.


How would you describe the mood or atmosphere in the mountain on a summer day?

To describe the mood or atmosphere of a mountain on a summer day, one wants to choose words and use images that describe the overall setting. For example, if the overall setting is stormy and ominous, use words that describe the approaching (or present) storm, such as "stormy" and "grey" and "threatening". An appropriate image in this same case would be, "like a warrior attacking the enemy".


Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?

As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain


How is climate affected high in the mountains?

Because the atmosphere and altitude make the wind from the sea going up the mountain cooler and then the atmosphere at the top of the mountain colder then when it come down it turn into hot air (leeward side)


Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?

The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest


Where will the atmospheric pressure greater at the base of the mountain or at the top why?

It will be greater at the base of mountain, since planetar gravity attracts more molecules which atmosphere consists of, the closer to the surface you are.


Why is it more difficult to breath at the top of a mountain?

This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.


Would a person on mars choke because of the atmosphere?

No. Just die. Its pressure is less than the top of our highest mountain.


Why is the air thinner at the top of a mountain?

The closer you are to the edge of the atmosphere, the denser air gets. That's why mountain climbers find it difficult to breathe, as there is less oxygen in the air up there.
