What else can I help you with?
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?
As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What happens to air temperature as you go up mountain?
It decreases because as you move up in altitude the air becomes thinner making it colder.
Why does it get colder as you go up a mountain?
As you move higher up a mountain, the air pressure decreases, causing the air to expand and cool. This expansion of air leads to a drop in temperature with increasing altitude, known as the lapse rate. Additionally, as you ascend, you move away from the heat-retaining surface of the Earth, resulting in cooler temperatures.
Why does air move up a mountain during the day and down at night?
During the day, the sun heats the mountain slopes, causing the air to rise due to convection currents. At night, the mountain cools faster than the surrounding air, creating denser air that flows down the slope due to gravity. This daily cycle of air movement is known as a mountain/valley breeze.
Where would atmospheric pressure be greatest at sea level on a mountaintop at the altitude at which planes fly or at the outer edge of the atmosphere?
At sea level, atmospheric pressure would be greatest because of the weight of the entire column of air above that point. As you move higher up a mountain, atmospheric pressure decreases due to the lower column of air above. However, at the outer edge of the atmosphere, the pressure drops significantly as there is almost no air present in this region.
What happens to air pressure as you move from the base of a mountain to the top of a mountain?
As you move from the base to the top of a mountain, the air pressure decreases. This is because the weight of the air above decreases with elevation. At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above, resulting in lower pressure.
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 a person moves from the base to the top of a mountain, the air pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above you at higher altitudes, resulting in lower pressure due to decreased atmospheric density.
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Is the air pressure greater at the peak of the mountain or the base?
The air pressure is greater at the base of the mountain compared to the peak. This is because the weight of the column of air above decreases as you move higher up in the atmosphere, leading to lower air pressure at higher elevations.
What happens when the earth's plates move together?
a mountain forms.
Does air pressure decrease as you move from the base to the top of a mountain?
Yes, because there is less air above you. This also explains why the higher you go, the more you become short of breath.
What happens to air pressure when you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere?
air pressure decreases
What happens to water pressure as you move up in the atmosphere?
It increases.
What happens as you move higher in the tropospere?
Atmospheric pressure falls
What happens to the speed of the gas particles when pressure is applied?
is move themselves
What agent of erosion will move rich soil from the top of a mountain to its base?
Water, Ice and gravity.
What happens when an acid and a base are combinded?
They move closer to water (not acidic or basic)
