How much atmospheric pressure is exerted on one square inch of earth?
14.7 pounds. Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch Keep in mind that unless air is trapped you do not feel this as pressure is equalized
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Define atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the pressure exerted from the atmosphere
Is weight the result of air pressure exerted on an object?
Mass and Earth's gravity
What is the difference between altitude and air pressure?
Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
What is the center of the Earth composed of?
It is composed of extremely hot iron, mostly. It would be molten, except for the incredible pressure exerted on it by the surrounding earth.
Amount of air on earth?
According to the latest estimates there are 5,170 million tons of air on the earth. There is 14.7 pounds of pressure per square inch at sea level.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earth's core than on the earth's surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
Can man live on the core of the Earth?
No. The core of Earth is heated to thousands of degrees and is under millions of times the pressure exerted by air at sea level.
Is air pressure a noun?
Yes. The term is a compound noun, and both air and pressure are nouns. Air pressure is the measure of the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the Earth.
What is the amount of force exerted per unit of area measured in an SI unit called?
The SI unit for pressure (which is what you're describing) is the pascal, which is defined as one newton per square meter (a newton is itself a kilogram - meter per second squared, so in SI base units a pascal is one kilogram per meter per second per second).A pascal is a pretty small amount of pressure. To put it into perspective, normal atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level is about 100,000 Pa.
