What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
What is the pressure like on each of the atmosphere?
The higher you go up the lower the pressure but less air
How does atmospheric pressure change with height?
Think of the air pressure on any horizontal surface as the weight of all the air above it, all the way to the top of the atmosphere. As you increase altitude (go higher, on a mountain or in an airplane), there is steadily less atmosphere above you, and the air pressure steadily decreases with altitude.
Why is the air pressure lower at higher altitude?
Same reason water pressure is higher the deeper you go. There's more stuff above, pressing down. Air has density and weight too.
When you get higher what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure decreases as you go higher.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above the earth surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure when you move higher above the earth surface?
The air pressure decreases the higher you go. This the reason that climbers hoping to reach the top of Mount Everest, carry air cylinders as the air is so thin.
When higher in the air the air pressure what?
Air pressure starts to go away
What happens to pressure as the air rises in the troposphere?
Air pressure is simply the weight of the air above you. Air pressure falls with height because the higher you go up, the less air there is above you to weigh down on you.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
How does air pressure vary?
Inversely with altitude, the higher up you go the less air pressure
What happens to the pressure when you go further underwater?
the air pressure will increase
What happens to air pressure when you travel higher and higher?
The higher up you go in elevation the thinner the air around you becomes making it hard to breathe for many people.
What happens to air pressure as you go to altitude?
It drecrease
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of all the air stacked up above you. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the pressure is lower.
