Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?
atmosphere
Is air pressure weak or strong at earths surface?
weak and strong,it depends
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
How do molecules change the air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
their density decreases as you go up
Patterns of air movement on earths surface caused by the coriolis effect and differences in heating?
The answer is Wind pattern
Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?
atmosphere
What is a barometer used to measure?
the weight of the air pressing down on the earths surface is known as air pressure.this pressure is measured using a barometer
Why is air pressure greatest at the Earth's surface?
Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is no air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
Why is high air pressure near earths surface?
Because there is more air (which has weight) above you if you are around sea level. If you fly up, or climb a mountain, there is less air above you, therefore less air pressure.
About how much is the Moon's gravitational force compares to the earths?
The weight of any object on the surface of the moon is 16.55% of its weight on the surface of the Earth.
What is horizontal movement of air in realtion to the earths surface?
updraught
What is a thin layer of air that protects the earths surface?
the atmosphere
