What would be the approximate air temperature at the top of a mountain?
Because mountain is a higher and the air is top and right and left of a mountain.🙂
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Why does the top of a mountain have greater air pressure?
It doesn't. Pressure is lower at the top of a mountain because there is less air weighing down on top of it.
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
What are some differences the air at sea level and the air at the top of a mountain?
At the top of the mountain you feel more colder than the normal temperature.
What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?
From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.
Where is air pressure strongest?
On top of a mountain
Why is it cooler on the top of a mountain than on the bottom of a mountain?
because the air at the top of the mountain ha s a lot less oxygen in it at the bottom of it. also the air particles have less room to move then at the bottom of the mountain
What happens to air pressure as you move from the base of a mountain to the top of a mountain?
is decreases
Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
Is air pressure the greatest at the top of a mountain?
no, at bottom
What happened to the air near the top of the mountain?
nothing
