The pressure is the density X height x acceleration due to gravity. In the metric system this would be about 915 kg/mmm x 1600 m x 9.8 m/ss = 14,347,200 Newtons/mm which is approximately 400,000 lbs per sqft.

Where is Harvard glacier?
The Harvard Glacier is a large tidewater glacier in the Alaska's Prince William Sound.The glacier has a 1.5-mile (2 km) wide face where it calves into the College Fjord. It is 300 ft thick and covers 120,000 acres of Chugach National Forest.The Harvard Glacier is the second largest glacier in the Prince William Sound, after the Columbia Glacier.It is a popular destination of cruise ships in the Prince William Sound.
How long does it take for a glacier to form?
it takes 1,000- to 10,000,000 years to move a mile no glacier can move at mach 9
What is the biggest glacier?
The Lambert Glacier in Antarctica is 100 km wide, and about 400 km long.The Beardmore Glacier is 160 km long before it enters the Ross ice Shelf, and becomes indistinguishable from that, though it is still probably sitting on bed rock.Even bigger in area, are the various ice plateaus and ice shelves, but these are not moving fast enough to be considered glaciers.
Is it a thick or thin atmosphere in venus?
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.
How much pressure is there 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean?
about 2350 psi or 16.2 MPa

How tall is Mendhall Glacier in Alaska?
1 mile
Where is a 52 mile scenic drive located?
Glacier National Park.
How does atmosphere pressure with height in the atmosphere?
Generally, atmospheric pressure is greatest at ground level, because you are at the bottom of the 25 mile thick atmosphere of earth. Greatest water pressure in a swimming pool is at the bottom, too. As you go up into the atmosphere, the pressure tends to decrease.
How many mile thick is the outer core?
5 to 25 miles thick
Where is longest glacier in the world locate?
Where is the world's longest glacier?The world's longest glacier is the Lambert-Fisher glacier at an icy 320 miles in length and a not-so-hot 25 miles in width.The Lambert-Fisher glacier is a speed demon as far as slow moving masses of ice go, moving over a half mile each year.The Lambert-Fisher Glacier located in Antarctica
What is the 25 mile thick granite skin of the earth?
The continental crust.
Does a fall from a five story building exert the same force as a 40 mile per hour crash?
Yes
What variables affect the temperature a mile apart?
High and low pressure systems. 1 mile south could be a low pressure system which would have a different temperature than a mile north with a high pressure system. Thats just one variable though.
A column of water 2.31 ft high exerts a pressure of 1 pound per square inch how much pressure does a column of water 47 ft high exert?
Given that this stands out a mile as almost certainly a school homework question, to answer directly would be to make me complicit in cheating. So I will tell you how to calculate it, which would appear to be the point of the question: 1) The relationship between depth and pressure of water is linear. 2) If water X ft deep exerts a pressure of P lb/in2, then water of Y ft deep will obviously exert a pressure of P(Y/X) lbs/in2 Given thats information you can now solve the original question.
Is it possible for meteoroid to impact earth?
Yes, it happens hundreds of times every day. Meteorites, the rocks that survive falling through the atmosphere, litter the ground; in some places, they are all over. Antarctica, for example; when you find a rock sitting on top of a mile-thick glacier, we know it didn't pop up out of the ice!
What is the North Pole's 30 mile thick crust made up of?
It's made of ice.
