How did amy and dan get to the top of mteverest?
On a light helicopter
How does air pressure changes altitude increases?
It decreases. Air pressure is simply the pressure of all the other air on top of it. As you increase in elevation, there is less air on top of you. Therefore, the air pressure is less. As your altitude decreases, there is more air on top of you, therefore, the air pressure increases. Same with water. As you descend, water pressure increases. More on top of you.
How is The wheather in mteverest?
Cold with very low pressure. The higher you go up it, the colder and less pressure there is.
Why does the top of a mountain have greater air pressure?
It doesn't. Pressure is lower at the top of a mountain because there is less air weighing down on top of it.
Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
Why is air pressure at the top of a chimney less tan air pressure at the bottom?
Hot air rises
Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?
There has to be lesser air pressure on the top of the wing to provide lift.
Air pressure decreases as?
Air pressure decreases as height is gained. There is less air pressure at the top of a high mountain, than at sea level.
Where is air pressure strongest?
On top of a mountain
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
Is it true When a bird flies the air pressure on the top of its wings is lower than the air pressure below?
yes
