A pressure reading less than atmospheric pressure is?
Low pressure
Is Venus' atmosphere heavy?
I'm not sure what a "heavy" atmosphere is but Venus' atmosphere is denser than Earth's and the atmospheric pressure at the surface is much greater than Earth's
If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?
Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!
Why is the boiling point more sensitive to pressure than the melting point?
The boiling point is more sensitive to pressure than the melting point due to the fluidity of liquid. Liquids move around more when pressure is placed on them, as they're already moving around naturally without the extra pressure.
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea level than at the top of a mountain 5000 m above sea level?
Atmospheric pressure is a measure of the amount of air pressing down on the earth. This would be highest at the surface of the earth. At 5000 meters, there are 5000 meters of air below you, so that is considerably less air.
How does the pressure of the pleural space compare to the lungs?
Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs
What happens when pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to pure water or a solution?
If a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied to a solution or pure water, its water potential increases
When does inspiration occur?
when atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure within the lungs, inspiration occur.
What is high pressure cell?
it is a region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment.
Can carbon dioxide be a liquid?
Yes, but only at greater than standard atmospheric pressure.
What happens when a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied on pure water?
It is compressed and occupies a smaller volume.
What is caused by a transpulmonary pressure greater than zero?
When the transpulmonary pressure is greater than zero water is forced out of the lung tissue and collects in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This is known as an transudative pleural effusion.
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Area having greater than normal atmospheric pressure is what?
A high pressure zone. Site of clear skies and warm weather.
High pressure system definition?
is a region where the ATMOSPHERIC at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment
What should be the freezing point of water if its boiling point is greater than a 100 degrees?
Water boils at a temperature greater than 100 oC if the pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure but this has no effect on melting point.
What term best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure?
compressed gas
