Best Answer

When you get into higher altitudes, there are less molecules. Making the pressure less dense. It also has less oxygen molecule, making it harder to breathe.

What is the change in a manometer with relation to a change in pressure of gas?

As the Pressure of the gas being measured increases the height of the fluid in the Manometer Tube increases. The reverse is also true. The graduations of the Manometer Tube gives you a reading of the Gas Pressure being measured.

What is the term for lake waters rising and falling related to high and low weather pressures?

Water is incompressible and its level (in a LAKE) will not change as a result of an ambient pressure difference. However, in the case of the Ocean or a VERY large body of inland water, a differential pressure caused by differences in atmospheric pressure across the surface of the water will cause height changes. This change in height is called a "storm serge".


How does water pressure work?

Water pressure works based on the difference of altitudes or height. The height of the tank determines the amount of pressure that the water supply will have.


Why pressure difference in two gauges located in different heights?

In a pipe line or vessel if vertically placed and two pressure gauges mounted in top and bottom places of the pipe line and the internal pressure will very. Top mounted pressure gauge is lower than the bottom mounted pressure gauge. The Pressure will change due to the height variation's. The Internel fluid height acting additional pressure . so that the pressure difference in two gauges located in different heights.
