Where is air pressure strongest?
On top of a mountain
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 layer on the mountain would have the most air pressure?
The top.
What s the difference between air pressure and density?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Density of air - Wikipedia" and "Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia". The density of air is the mass per unit volume of Earth's atmosphere. Air density decreases with increasing altitude, as does air pressure. Air pressure (N/m² = Pa) is a column of air pushing on top of you. If you think of a stack of books, then the bottom has the greatest pressure and the top has the least.
Is ther more air pressure at the top of a mountain or a beach?
beach
What is the air pressure of troposphere?
uh it's 10.3828482. but that's just off the top of my head
What is the troposphere air pressure?

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.
How does air pressure vary with elevation?
The pressure of the air on one square-inch of your head is the weight of air from that square-inch all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. As you go up in elevation, some of the atmosphere is below you, and there is less of it above you. So the weight on each square inch, and thus the air pressure, becomes less.
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.
The pressure of air on the top of MtEverest?
