What is the effect of pressure in solids?
For most solids, increasing the pressure will also increase the melting temperature. A notable exception is ice. Although solids are not very compressible, extreme pressure will still compress solids to a measurable degree. Some solids will also undergo phase changes when subjected to increasing pressure - from one solid structure to another. As previously noted, ice may actually melt if pressure is applied near the melting point temperature of the ice (a solid to liquid phase change vice a solid/solid phase change). A good example that most people are familiar with is the formation of diamonds. The tetrahedral crystaline structure of diamonds is actually not thermodynamically stable at atmospheric conditions, but from a kinetic standpoint the conversion back to graphite or other stable solid structure is so slow that it might as well be stable. To get it to convert to the diamond structure requires very high pressure.
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
Would a se-leave pressure of 1040 mb be considered high or low pressure?
Yes, 1040mb is a very high surface pressure.
Why do solids do not stay the same shape?
Because the solid molecules are joined with very high inter molecular force in case of liquid this force is not very high.No. It is because the molecules in solids maintain a regular pattern and only vibrate, or move very slowly
What is the atmospheric pressure in the center of a Tropical cyclone?
very high
What happens to rock when it is exposed to very high temperature?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be?
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be very high.
Why does your body have more liquids then solids?
Cause your body contains a very high temperature causing the solids to dissolve into liquids
Can you compression a liquid why or why not?
Yes, you can compress gases, liquids, and solids. However, liquids and solids are MUCH less compressible than gases, and for many practical purposes you can consider them "incompressible". This means that a high pressure will only cause a very small change in volume.
Do ionic solids have low melting points?
No, ionic solids have very high melting points. Ionic solids are one of the strongest bonds formed among elements.
Is it possible to have a very high systolic pressure and a very low diastolic pressure?
No.
High pressure gases?
when the collision between the gas molecules and the container in which the gas exist is very high.....then the pressure of the gas is very high
What type of pressure does cold air have?
high pressure because the air is very dense. so it's pressure is also very high

Is an area with very little rainfall like to be a high or low pressure center?
high pressure most likely
What is the name of the uppermost layer of the atmosphere and why does it feel so cold there even though the pressure can be very high?
The pressure in the uppermost layer of the atmosphere is NOT very high- it is very low.
