How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
Why is the pressure in the center of the earth greater than the pressure in the mantle?
Because towards the center of the earth, there is more mass on top of it, so there is more pressure. All of the other layers, and the stuff on top of the earth is pushing down on it from all sides. For the mantle, its only the stuff on the top of the earth that is putting pressure on it.
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
Is Venus' atmosphere heavy?
I'm not sure what a "heavy" atmosphere is but Venus' atmosphere is denser than Earth's and the atmospheric pressure at the surface is much greater than Earth's
Some rocks are pushed deeper into the Earth. As these rocks experience greater heat and pressure, what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
Metamorphic
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
Is air pressure greater near earths surface or at higher altitudes?
I am sure that if you think about the problems encountered by climbers on Mount Everest you might be able to answer that yourself. Near the Earth's surface.

How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
What happens to the temperature and pressure when descending into the Earth's interior?
the temp gets hotter and the pressure gets greater
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
Why does the inner core receive the greatest amount of pressure?
There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Why does venus have a greater gravity pull the earth does?
It hasn't. The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of Venusis about 91% of what it is on or near the surface of the Earth.(That's less than what it is here.)
Why is air pressure located near earth's surface?
because there is no air in space.
Why is the pressure in the center of the earth greater than the pressure in the mantle?
