The pressure difference works this way. You literally have more air molecules in a given area, a "high" pressure front. The air wants to reach equilibrium, so it flows to a "low" pressure, or less air molecules in the same given area, front. What you feel is air molecules moving from one area to another, or wind.

How man contribute to the formation of the atmosphere?

Well I know that the atmosphere has carbon dioxide in it, and when we breath out we release carbon dioxide that could be then added to the atmosphere.


What factors could contribute to low water pressure in a plumbing system?

Factors that could contribute to low water pressure in a plumbing system include clogged pipes, leaks, faulty pressure regulators, and issues with the water supply source.


What planet has a low air pressure atmosphere?

Mercury has almost no atmosphere so that could be the answer. The otherpossible answeris Mars, which certainly does have a (thin)atmosphere.


Can the joints in the body forecast the weather?

In some people who have sensitive joints, such as with arthritis, subtle differences in pressure can be detected. Differences in pressure precede changes in weather, but that is the extent to which they could actually "forecast" the weather.


How do you make an atmosphere thicker?

To make an atmosphere thicker, you can increase the concentration of gases present by adding more gas particles, such as through volcanic eruptions or industrial emissions. Another method is to cool the atmosphere, which can help retain more gases and increase pressure. Additionally, reducing the escape of gases into space by enhancing gravitational pull or using artificial means could also contribute to a thicker atmosphere.


What does a barrow meter measure?

I think you could be referring to a barometer, which measures atmospheric pressure and is an indicator of when it will rain or shine.


Could water exist as a liquid on Earth if it did not have an atmosphere?

Water could exist as a liquid on Earth without an atmosphere in specific conditions where the temperature and pressure allow for liquid water to form. However, without an atmosphere, these conditions would be less stable and water would be more likely to evaporate or freeze quickly due to the lack of atmospheric pressure and insulation.


Why do people get nosebleed?

There are many reasons why people get nose bleeds. These nosebleeds could be caused by sickness and by differences in pressure.

Why could you not live on Venus?

The heat and pressure on the surface is too high for Earth lifeforms. The average heat could melt lead, and the pressure is 92 times sea level pressure on Earth. The atmosphere is almost completely carbon dioxide and there is no liquid water.


Could a mercury barometer be used to measure the barometric pressure of the atmosphere on mars?

No, a mercury barometer relies on the density and height of a column of mercury in a tube to measure atmospheric pressure. However, Mars has a thin atmosphere with low pressure, so mercury would not provide accurate readings. Other pressure-measuring devices, like electronic sensors, would be more suitable for measuring barometric pressure on Mars.
