What else can I help you with?
Where will the atmospheric pressure greater at the base of the mountain or at the top why?
The atmospheric pressure will be greater at the base of the mountain because pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the overlying air. This means that as you climb higher up a mountain, the pressure will decrease.
How and why does the air pressure change as you climb up a mountain?
As you climb up a mountain, the air pressure decreases because there is less air above pushing down on the air below. At higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is lower because the column of air above is shorter. This change in pressure can lead to thinner air, making it harder to breathe and resulting in decreased oxygen levels.
What state of matter is calcium in at atmospheric pressure?
Calcium is a solid at atmospheric presure up to the melting point of 842 0C.
What is the difference between high-pressure systems and low-pressure systems?
Low pressure systems are made up of low airmass and pressure. High air pressure systems are made up of high airmass and pressure.Standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, 760 mm Hg, 101 kiolopascals, or 13.33 mb. All these units indicate the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level. High or low atmospheric pressure indicates that the pressure is higher or lower than this standard. Aside from weather related highs and lows, the pressure is lower the further up you go and higher the further below sea level (like ain mine shaft) you are.Weather related air pressure is primarily related to air temperature (cold air is heavier and warm air lighter)
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?
As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What pushes Mercury up in a tube of a Mercury barometer?
That depends on the 'tube' involved. In a thermometer the mercury expands and contracts within a sealed tube as the temperature is raised or lowered. In a barometer there is a reservoir of mercury which the atmosphere presses on. This maintains the mercury in a column which is sealed at the top. Increases in atmospheric pressure push the mercury further up the tube, decreases let it drop down the tube.
What is the partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1atm)?
The partial pressure of nitrogen in air at atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is approximately 0.78 atm. This means that nitrogen makes up about 78% of the total atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Why does the environment change the higher up you are?
lower atmospheric pressure
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move up away from sea level?
as you move up from sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases. At higher elevations, theres less air above you so therefor less air pressure. When the air pressure outside your body decreases, the air pressure inside also decreases (slowly).
What uses atmospheric pressure to move liquid over an obstacle?
A siphon uses atmospheric pressure to move liquid over an obstacle. By creating a vacuum at the top of the siphon, atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid up and over the obstacle.
What is the difference between high-pressure system and low -pressure system?
Low pressure systems are made up of low airmass and pressure. High air pressure systems are made up of high airmass and pressure.Standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, 760 mm Hg, 101 kiolopascals, or 13.33 mb. All these units indicate the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level. High or low atmospheric pressure indicates that the pressure is higher or lower than this standard. Aside from weather related highs and lows, the pressure is lower the further up you go and higher the further below sea level (like ain mine shaft) you are.Weather related air pressure is primarily related to air temperature (cold air is heavier and warm air lighter)
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
