Does air pressure decrease non-uniformly with altitude?
no
Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
What decreases as air pressure decreases?
Air Pressure would decrease normally when a storm approaches. See related link for more information.
What happens to air pressure when the temperature changes?
air pressure becomes less in cold tempuratures
What are different ways to manipulate air pressure?
Five ways:Temperature (increase in temperature means increase in pressure.)Velocity (increase the speed means decrease in pressure.)Amount of air particles (more particles means more pressure.)Changing the container (More space means less pressure.)Altitude (increase in altitude means decrease in pressure.)
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you go higher?
decrease
Does air pressure decrease with increasing altitudes?
No, air pressure decreases with increasing elevation. This is because air pressure is due to the weight of the column of air above where you are. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the less the weight of that column of air and the lower the air pressure.
What is in a longitudinal wave?
When something vibrates, like a loudspeaker, it compresses the air and increases the pressure of the air when it moves out. When the loudspeaker moves in it creates a partial vacum and a decrease in air pressure. The increase/decrease in air pressure is propagated thru the air (or any medium),as a longitudinal wave, by pushing the air in front of it. The part of the cycle which produces the decrease in pressure is called a "rarefacation" of the air.
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you move up into the atmosphere?
Air pressure decreases as you go up.
Does air pressure decrease non-uniformly with altitude?
no
Does temperature affect air pressure?
In the atmosphere increasing the temperature the pressure decrease.
Does air pressure increase or decrease towards the center of the hurricane?
Air pressure decreases at the center (eye) of a hurricane
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
How do you get from a liquid to a gas?
You must either increase the temperature of the liquid or decrease the pressure acting on the liquid (i.e., decrease the air pressure).
Why does the temperature decrease with heights in the troposphere?
Because Of Air Pressure.
What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?
Air pressure.
