How is pressure on your hand balanced?
The pressure on Earths atmopphere is exerted over the entire surface of your hand
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.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
What is featured sculpted on earths surface by internal or external forces?
buthole
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, relative to any observer not attached to the earth's surface.
What is The pressure exerted by the gas in earths atmosphere called?
autmospheric pressure
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
How is pressure on your hand balanced?
The pressure on Earths atmopphere is exerted over the entire surface of your hand
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.
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
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.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than 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 planet has low air pressure and is mostly carbon dixide?
Mars has a thin atmosphere, mainly of Carbon Dioxide. Its surface pressure is around 0.7 kPa, around 0.7% of Earths surface pressure.
What is venus weather atmosphere?
Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths
The first layer of the earths atmosphere touching earths surface?
mesosphere
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
