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.


How does unequal heating affect wind patterns?

hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.


How does unequal heating affect global wind pattern?

hot air causes a low pressure system, cold air then rushes towards this low pressure system to equalise the earths atmosphere. the unequal heating causes unequal pressure systems and air moves to and from those pressure systems.


what main factors cause the air in earths atmosphere to move?

uneven heating by the sun causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.


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 atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?

In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.


Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?

The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.


Which layer of the earths atmosphere contains no wate vapor has an atmosphere pressure less than 1.0 atmosphere and has air temperature that increases wth altitude?

Its the hydrosphere


Is the movement of air primarly a result of pressure differences from the atmosphere?

Yes. The movement of air is the result of pressure differences in the atmosphere. The day/night cycle causes differences in the temperatures further creating the pressure differences in the atmosphere ... PRIMARILY.


What causes winds in the atmosphere?

Energy from the Sun causes wind.


Why doesn't a closed paper bag collapse under weight of earths atmosphere?

There is air pressure in that bag too


What causes the air in earths atmosphere to move?

The heating of the air goes up while heating and when it gets to the top and goes to the bottom it cools
