Does barometric pressure go up or down in high altitudes?
Should you be flying does barometric pressure go up or down
How does barometric pressure change with altitude?
Because pressure decreases as you go up in altitude and increases when you go down in altitude. Hope this helped!
Explain why barometric pressure usually falls with the approach of a cold front or occluded front?
falling down
Why is the boiling point of water lower in Shimla than in Delhi?
I think that Shimla is at higher elevation than Delhi is. If that is the case, than it is because the barometric pressure goes down at higher elevations.See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer for more about how the boiling point of water is affected by the air pressure.
Is air pressure another name for barometric pressure?
In short, yes. The commonly-reported "pressure" talked about by meteorologists has been extrapolated down to sea level to eliminate pressure differences caused by altitude (air pressure drops much more quickly with height than it does between even the strongest high and low pressure systems). Air pressure sometimes refers to the pressure observed at a location and not adjusted down to sea level, whereas barometric pressure almost always refers to a sea-level pressure. But maybe this is too much information. A better answer would be "yes."
Does barometric pressure go up or down in tornadoes?
Barometric pressure goes down in a tornado.

The result of the weight of the column of air pushing down on an area?
Air pressure, barometric pressure, the boiling point of water.

What does up when the rain comes down?
If you mean what 'goes' up when the rain comes down, then the answer is the barometric pressure. A low pressure cell, which is a chief indicator of a rain storm, occurs when the barometric pressure drops below 30 points. As the storm dissipates, the low pressure cell changes, causing the barometric pressure to rise.
How can one quickly find out what the local barometric pressure is?
Atmospheric pressure is defined as the force per unit of area pressed against a surface by the weight of the air. The simplest way to observe barometric pressure is by looking at a barometer. The simplest barometers involve the atmospheric pressure pushing a liquid up a tube by pushing down on surrounding liquid.

Why is atmospheric pressure greatest at the surface of earth?
Atmospheric pressure is greatest at the surface of the Earth because there is more air above pushing down. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there is less air above, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure. Gravity also plays a role in compressing the air molecules closer to the Earth's surface, increasing the pressure.
Which way do you adjust the pressure adjustment screw on most pressure regulators to lower the psi?
Screw down = pressure up. Screw up = pressure down.
Where air pushing down with less pressure it is three words?
lower air pressure
