Air pressure depends mainly on altitude - how high you are above sea level. The lattitude doesn't make much difference.
What else can I help you with?
What are the temperature and pressure conditions of surface air at the equator?
yes
Why is the equator a low air pressure area?
The equator is an intensely heated throughout the year . Due to the intense heating the air in this region becomes warm and light and it rises above creating a partial vacuum .(As you know vacuum leads to decrease in air pressure) As a result a region of permanent low pressure is created called the equatorial low pressure belt.
What Is air pressure at the equator?
doldrum
Why air decreases with an increase in latitude?
It doesn't.Latitude is geography, distance from the equator, and doesn't affect air pressure. Might affect temperature though.However, air pressure decreases with increased altitude =height above sea level.The higher you go, the less air is there above you, pushing down.
Air pressure near the equator is less than air pressure at the poles a fact that causes air to move where?
Air moves from high pressure at the poles towards low pressure at the equator due to the pressure difference. This movement of air creates global wind patterns such as the trade winds near the equator.
Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
Why do heated air masses above the equator move north and south to cooler areas?
Heated air masses above the equator and is moved due to the rotation of the earth on it's axis. This actual helps to deflect the movement of air over diffrent parts of the planet creatomg global patterns of prevailing winds distributing heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
Is it true that the air above a region of surface high pressure is normally rising?
No, the air above a region of surface high pressure is typically descending rather than rising. High pressure systems are associated with sinking air, which leads to stable atmospheric conditions and generally fair weather.
Why do air masses move from the polar regions towards the equator?
Air masses move from the polar regions towards the equator due to the temperature difference between the two areas. Warmer air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure area, while cooler air at the poles sinks, creating a high-pressure area. This pressure difference causes air to move from high to low pressure, resulting in the general movement of air masses towards the equator.
Will anyone answer you what is the force that air exerts on a given area?
The force that air exerts on a given area is called air pressure. Air pressure is the result of the weight of the air above the given area pressing down on it. This pressure can vary depending on altitude, weather conditions, and temperature.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is greater at lower altitudes because the weight of the air above compresses the air below, leading to higher pressure. As you go higher in altitude, the air pressure decreases due to the lower weight of air above.
What is air pressure zone that is associated with rising air near the equator?
Equatorial Low
