What is change in elevation from -250 to 175?
This is a 170% increase in elevation.
Why does water's boling point decreases with increase in elevation?
At high elevation the pressure is lower and the boiling point depends on this pressure.
How does the atmosphere change or stay the same with elevation?
The actual atmosphere itself does not change with elevation, but the atmospheric pressure does.
What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?
change in elevation and change in density
How do you increase water pressure from a gravity tank by increasing pipe sizes?
you cannot increase the pressure from a gravity tank by changing the pipe size, only the volume of water that will flow in a given period of time. The only way to increase the pressure is to increase the difference between the elevation of the tank and the elevation of the spigot. Many people will confuse an increase in water volume with an increase in water pressure, because, in both cases, more water will flow in a given period of time. ...moreincreasing the pipe size can reduce elevation loss due to friction which can translate in lay mans terms as an "increase in pressure"
How does the pressure change from Death Valley to the mountaintops?
the air pressure changes based on elevation
What four things affect pressure?
Change in volume - container getting bigger or smaller with same amount of air; Change in temperature - air gets hotter or colder causing it to expand or contract; Change in density - air is pumped into or out of a fixed container.
How will volume of a balloon change if pressure remains constant but pressure increase?
The volume will increase in proportion to the increase in absolute temperature.
What must change for air pressure to change?
Your elevation above sea level or the weather passing over you.
How does the pressure of a gas change if you increase volume?
If you increase the volume of the container, and not the gas itself, then the pressure decreases. If you increase the volume of the gas, and not the container, then the pressure increases.
Why does pressure increase as elevation increase?
because the clouds create a mist that is full of H, which can touch the earths atmosphere. it creates pressure in our ears because the ear wax chemically reacts to the H
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.
