What else can I help you with?
Is air pressure at sea level low or high?
Air pressure at sea level is considered high because the weight of the air above exert pressure on the surface. This pressure decreases as altitude increases due to the decrease in the weight of the air column above.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
How is air in high mountains different from air at sea level?
Air in high mountains is thinner because there is less atmospheric pressure as you go higher in elevation compared to air at sea level. The lower pressure at high altitudes makes it harder to breathe and can lead to altitude sickness if not acclimated. Additionally, there may be lower humidity levels in high mountain air compared to air at sea level.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Where is air pressure the greatest?
The air pressure is greatest at sea level.
The measurement of air pressure at sea level is called?
Sea level pressure.
Where is the air pressure the greatest at sea level or on a mountain?
sea level
What is the air pressure at sea level?
The air pressure at sea level is typically around 1013 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.
How does the pressure at sea level change as the distance from earth increases?
As you move away from Earth's surface, the pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure is due to the decreasing mass of the atmosphere at higher altitudes. At sea level, the pressure is highest because of the weight of the air above pressing down.
Would you expect the air pressure in a valley that's below sea level to be higher or lower than air pressure at sea level?
Air pressure in a valley below sea level would be higher than at sea level. This is because the weight of the air column above is greater in the valley due to the higher density of air molecules compressed into a smaller volume.
Is sea level pressure the same as air pressure?
Assuming you are talking about air pressure, atmospheric pressure is created by the weight of the air resting against the earth. the higher up you go, the less air stacked on top of itself, and the pressure is less, until there is no more air at all (space). The pressure of air at sea level is relatively the same around the world because of all the water flows to the same level. this obviously changes with storms and hurricanes - as those move some of the air out of the way. So if you were to go below sea level, there would be more air on top of you, and the pressure would be higher. In death valley (well below sea level) the atmospheric pressure is much higher than at sea level. To answer the question, No, pressure is not negative below sea level. It is greater than at sea level.
Where is air pressure the highest sea level or atop a mountain?
Sea level
