Why is there less oxygen on the top of a mountain?
because of the density of the air and the pressure
Why is it colder on top of a mountain than it is at a beach?
The air on the mountaintop is at lower pressure.
Is air pressure greater at the top of a mountain than at the lower elevations?
No, it is greater at the lower elevations.
What caused the candle to go out?
Well mainly pressure against the flame WHEN YOU BLOW IT: Well when you put air pressure aginst the flame it causes it to go out PUT SOMETHING ON TOP: Well when you put somehting on top(such as a metal candle burner) it puts pressure against the flame...it aventually burns out
How would the temperature be affected if a distillation were performed on the top of a mountain?
The temp would be slightly lower because the air pressure is lower.
How does air pressure changes altitude increases?
It decreases. Air pressure is simply the pressure of all the other air on top of it. As you increase in elevation, there is less air on top of you. Therefore, the air pressure is less. As your altitude decreases, there is more air on top of you, therefore, the air pressure increases. Same with water. As you descend, water pressure increases. More on top of you.
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.
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
Why is air pressure at the top of a chimney less tan air pressure at the bottom?
Hot air rises
Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?
There has to be lesser air pressure on the top of the wing to provide lift.
What is the mountains on the east coast?
== == Mount Mitchell in NC. 6,684 ft (2,037 m) The following make out the top three. Mount Craig in North Carolina 6,647 ft (2,026 m) Clingmans Dome in Tenn. 6,643 ft (2,025 m)
Air pressure decreases as?
Air pressure decreases as height is gained. There is less air pressure at the top of a high mountain, than at sea level.
Where is air pressure strongest?
On top of a mountain
The pressure of air on the top of MtEverest?
56723hjdajchds
Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
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.
Is it true When a bird flies the air pressure on the top of its wings is lower than the air pressure below?
yes
