What else can I help you with?
Is air pressure the same at high altitudes?
No, it is not. The pressure decreases as the altitude increases.
Why does the level of oxygen decreases on high mountain?
The level of oxygen decreases on high mountains because the air pressure decreases as altitude increases. This decrease in air pressure results in lower oxygen content for each breath taken at high elevations, making it harder for the body to get enough oxygen.
Why is air pressure on a high mountain is less than on the lowland?
Air pressure decreases with altitude because there are fewer air molecules at higher elevations. As you climb a high mountain, the weight of the air above you decreases, resulting in lower air pressure.
Air pressure decreases as?
Air pressure decreases as height is gained. There is less air pressure at the top of a high mountain, than at sea level.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you climb a mountain?
Atmospheric pressure decreases as you climb a mountain because there is less air above pushing down on you. This decrease in pressure can cause symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue at high altitudes.
Why if you boil water on a high mountain it will be lower than 100 degrees Celsius?
Because the air pressure is lower, and the boiling point of water (and other liquids) decreases as the pressure decreases.
Is air pressure at sea level low or high?
Air pressure at sea level is considered high because the weight of the air above exert pressure on the surface. This pressure decreases as altitude increases due to the decrease in the weight of the air column above.
Is there a relationship between boiling and pressure?
Yes, there is. Higher pressure increases the boiling point and lower pressure decreases it. That is why a pressure cooker works and why water boils at lower temperatures in high altitudes.
How are fluid speed and fluid pressure related?
Fluid speed and fluid pressure are inversely related according to Bernoulli's principle. As fluid speed increases, fluid pressure decreases, and vice versa. This means that in a flowing fluid, areas of high speed will have lower pressure, and areas of low speed will have higher pressure.
How does tension affect your blood pressure?
Stress and tension can be contributing factors to high blood pressure.
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
