How is earths air pressure different from seas air pressure?
It is different in that the seas don't have air pressure. No air; no air pressure.
Does air pressure affect earths weather?
Air pressure and changes in air pressure is a major component in weather.
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
the air pressure increases
Why does the acceleration of gravity vary from one point to another on the earths surface?
Different air pressure, so there is more/less air resistance.
How does the air pressure on mars compare with earth?
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
The weight of the air on the earths surface is?
The weight of the air on the earth is called... Air Pressure
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Why does air move from high pressure areas to low pressure areas?
Air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas because high pressure is cold and it becomes heavier as it decends to the earths surface whereas low pressure is warm and is further away from the earths surface creating less pressure on the earths surface.It is like a continious cycle.
Why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?
why is air pressure different in the different layers of theatmosphere?
Why is the air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere?
why is air pressure different in the different layers of the atmosphere
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
How is air pressure measured with a barometer?
by the earths gravitational pull the barometer can measure the amount of air pressure in the air, also because of carbons gases
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface?
The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324
What place on the earth's surface has the lowest air pressure?
the lowest air pressure is located in the highest place. therefore the summit of mount Everest has the lowest air pressure on the earths surface.
Why is air pressure the greatest at earths surface?
Air pressure is the weight of all the air above where you are measuring at. And at the surface ALL of the air is above you. (Actually, if you go down a deep hole then the pressure does go up.)
What is the cause of atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
What layer of the earths atmosphere has the lowest air pressure?
Judging by the fact that it is the closest to outer space, which has no air pressure at all, I believe it's the exosphere.
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earths surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than on the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
What happens to air pressure as you move away from earths surface?
it decrease and it is globel warming
What is the air pressure in the atmosphere?
Air pressure is the weight of the air above a given point. This changes everyday at the surface and is different at different locations....Also, the pressure falls as you go upward into the atmosphere.
What happens to air pressure and temperature at different elevations?
As air pressure increases temperature decreases and as air pressure decreases temperature increases.
Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?
The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.
What type of air pressure causes diverging air at the earths surface?
Low pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence which occur in upper levels of the troposphere.
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
Tires air pressure?
tire air pressure is written on the side of all tires look for it tires have different pressures for different sizes
How does air pressure change at different altitudes?
The higher you go in altitude, the less air pressure there is because of the molecules in the air.
What are different types of air pressure?
three kinds of air pressure are the temperature,water vapor, and elevation.
How messure the air?
That depends what property of air you want to measure: its mass, pressure, percentage of the different gases, etc. That depends what property of air you want to measure: its mass, pressure, percentage of the different gases, etc. That depends what property of air you want to measure: its mass, pressure, percentage of the different gases, etc. That depends what property of air you want to measure: its mass, pressure, percentage of the different gases… Read More
What is the difference between isobar lines?
Isobars connect areas with the same air pressure. So different isobars have different levels of air pressure.
How does unequal heating affect global wind patterns?
hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.
Why does air pressure drop as you move away from the earths surface?
In simple terms... gravity ! Gravity is holding the air close to the surface of the Earth. The further away you are from the surface - the lower the gravity - and thus the lower the air pressure.
Why is the boiling point of water different at different places?
Different places have different elevation, and different elevations have different air pressure. It is the ambient air pressure which affects the boiling point of water. Air presses down on water, making it harder for the water to form bubbles. Less pressure produces a lower boiling point. More pressure produces a higher boiling point.
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
How do molecules change the air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
their density decreases as you go up
Which weather condition most directly determines wind speeds at Earths surface?
Air pressure Gradient
- Does the air pressure of different balls effect the distance?
does air pressure affect the distance a soccer ball travels
What is air pressure at an altitude of 34 feet?
It would be a different air pressure for different locations and different days at the same location. Just as the barometer (instrument that measures air pressure) changes from day to day at ground level, it also changes at elevations above ground.
What Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what type of pressure?
constant pressure
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
What is local atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air in the earths atmosphere that is above you. At sea level this pressure is said to be 1 bar or one atmosphere. Now, as you go up a mountain there is less air above you and thus the atmospheric pressure is less and the pressure you experience because of your altitude is said to be your local atmospheric pressure. However, the earths atmosphere is heated… Read More
What are the factors that contributes to the earths climate?
it depends on air pressure and where is place located (tropical-hot climate etc
Does Airplanes Have to keep up with earths rotation when traveling over seas?
No. An airplane with weak, medium, or strong engines flies slow, medium, or fast through the air, and the air is keeping up with the Earth's rotation.
Why does atmospheric pressure decrease as you rise above earths surface?
As you go up, the less air their is above you pressing down. So the pressure decreases as you go up.
