Where is the air pressure greater-at sea level or on a mountaintop?
Air pressure is Greater at sea level.Atmospheric pressure is higher at sea level. There is more atmosphere on top of the observer at that point, so the pressure is higher.
Where is air pressure greater on the surface of the earth or 100 miles out into space?
Air pressure decreases steadily with increasing altitude. At 100 miles up, there is essentially NO atmosphere.
How does the temperature of the air molecules change at each level of the atmosphere?
The air molecules expand as it gets higher and higher into the atmosphere. the molecules expand.
Why does a barometer have a higher reading at sea level then at the top of the mountain?
Air pressure on earth results from the earth's gravitational pull on the earth's atmosphere. In some sense, pressure results from the weight of the air above the point at which one measures pressure. At higher altitudes, there is less air above, resulting in less weight, which translates into pressure.
Why is pressure on mounteverest?
bcoz when u go higher from the earth's surface the oxygen level decreases. we know that earth has a strong layer that is atmosphere so it has a level where it ends so if u go more further the oxygen level decreases!!!

Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountaintop or sea level?
sea level
Why is pressure higher at sea level than a mountaintop?
Because it is duhhh
Why is atmospheric pressure higher at sea level than mountaintop?
because they bang each other alot.
Where would atmospheric pressure be greatest at sea level on a mountaintop at the altitude at which planes fly or at the outer edge of the atmosphere?
Sea level. Actually atmospheric pressure is the greatest at the earths core
Why does water boils at lower temperature in a mountaintop?
Because in the mountaintop the pressure is lower than in the sea level; I think.
What change happens in the outside air as an airplane flies higher in the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is densest at sea level, so as the density of air goes down, so does the atmospheric pressure. The atmosphere gets less and less dense as you rise higher above the sea level.
Which lake have a higher elevation or a lower elevation to dissolved mineral?
Higher elevation is going to also have higher atmospheric pressure. My recollection is that the higher pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the lake will cause a higher level of absorption in the lake itself.
Where is air pressure greater on the surface of the earth or 100 miles out into space?
Air pressure decreases steadily with increasing altitude. At 100 miles up, there is essentially NO atmosphere.
What happen when higher energy ultraviolet radiations act on the oxygen at the higher level of the atmosphere?
when higher energy ultraviolet radiation act on the oxygen at the higher level of the atmosphere, they destroying many molecules of atmosphere.
Why is the level of air pressure less at the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?
Air is denser at lower altitudes and less dense at higher altitudes. If the bottom of the valley is directly below the mountain, at a lower altitude, then there is technically more air in the valley.
How does a mountaintop even in the tropics stay covered in snow all year round?
Generally speaking, the higher up you go in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. When you get more than a few miles above sea level, it is perpetually below freezing, no matter where in the world you are.
