When air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air what happens?
have less weight
Where water boils first in lower pressure or high atmospheric pressure?
in Lower pressure water does not have to get as hot to boil
What happen as you descend through the water column?
As someone descends through a water column, the pressure increases. This happens because water at higher levels exerts weight on the lower layers of water.
What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
What happens air hits an area of lower pressure?
It will fill the area of lower pressure, expanding and slightly cooling until the pressure of the area and it's surrounding are equal.
What happens when air hits an area of lower pressure?

Do hurricanes have lower pressure over land or water?
water
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
Why is it different at 5000 feet to boil water?
The atmospheric pressure is lower. When you are boiling the water, the water's vapour saturation pressure is able to match the atmospheric pressure faster therefore it boils faster and at a lower temperature.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
How do water temperatures affect air pressure?
The lower the pressure then the lower the temperature that is required to make it boil. Water at the top of Mount Everest boils well below 100 degrees centigrade due to the lower atmospheric pressure.
What happens when pressure is lower inside the lungs than outside the lungs?
atmospheric
