Why are aircraft cabins pressurized to 8000ft and not 0ft?
The fuselage of most aircraft is not strong enough to withstand that pressure. The air pressure is very low at high altitudes, and if the inside pressure was set to 0 ft (an extremely high pressure), the fuselage would burst.
Is air pressure greater at high altitudes or low altitudes?
It is greater at a lower altitude.
Why do passenger aircraft have pressurized cabins?
To allow passengers to breathe sufficient oxygen, needed to survive, even in high altitudes.
Is air pressure the same at high altitudes?
No, it is not. The pressure decreases as the altitude increases.
In high altitudes erythrocyte levels go up will these levels stay the same?
No, they will drop to normal a few weeks after returning to normal altitudes.
Why one of the windows in the Flying At High Altitudes Breaks?
as their is high pressure inside and low pressure outside and air moves
What is the term for the area between high and low altitudes?
medium pressure
The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
Why ice melts slowly at higher altitudes?
because there is low pressure at higher altitudes
Global winds and pressure systems?
exist at the earth's surface and at high altitudes
Are there problems with LCD TVs at high altitudes?
Because plasma cells contain inert gases and the pressure increases at higher altitudes causing increased heat in plasma televisions. LCD televisions do not have any problems at high altitudes.
Does reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a higher temperature?
The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature, the lower the normal boiling point (i.e., the boiling point at atmospheric pressure) of the liquid.
