Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
How and why do temperature and pressure vary with ocean depth?
At sea level,the pressure of the atmosphere pushing down on the ocean surface is reffered to as 1 atmosphere of pressure.An atmosphere is the pressure exerted on a surface at sea level by the column of air above it.As you go below the oceans surface ,the pressure increases because of the force of the water molecules pushing down.
What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
What is 1 atm-?
It's a measure of pressure. Specifically, it's the amount of pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere at sea level.
What pressure is exerted when blood is pumped out of the heart?
Systolic pressure? I think.
What is the difference between altitude and air pressure?
Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.
What is The pressure exerted by the gas in earths atmosphere called?
autmospheric pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Define atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the pressure exerted from the atmosphere
Rocks can melt without changing temperature when the pressure exerted on them is .?
Increase
What happens to pressure of the force exerted on a given area increases?
The pressure exerted outward by fluids in your body balances the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of your body. the pressure increases
What is meant by the pressure of the atmosphere?
The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level has a mean value of 101,325 pascals (roughly 14.6959 pounds) .
What is pressure and how does it differ from force?
Pressure is a type of force, one which presses or pushes. A different type of force would be pulling. The word pressure is particularly used when we are talking about a force that is exerted by a gas or a liquid, which is distributed over some wide area. Normal atmospheric pressure, for example, is 24 pounds per square inch, and it is exerted on everything that is in the atmosphere at sea level (the pressure declines at higher altitude).
What is the force exerted by air in all directions?
The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.
How does pressure exerted by a liquid increase with depth?
It increases linearly, assuming the liquid is incompressible.
What is barometric pressure measured by?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure to determine weather or altitude changes.
Raising temperature of a gas fixed volume container will change?
it would change the pressure exerted by the gas in the container.
