What is the pressure at the bottom of a mountain as water flows through different size pipes?

If the water is flowing by gravity there is NO hydrostatic pressure
If you want to find the static pressure under no flow conditions take the constant .433 and times it by the height

How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?
well a moutian if it is tall enough can reach the sky and air pressure their is 0
Is air pressure the greatest at the top of a mountain?
no, at bottom
How does the air pressure change between the bottom of the mountain and its summit?
It is pressed by the bottom of the earths crust and pressured up to the top of the mountain and the mountain begins to break. It takes about 500 years to break.
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 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.
Where is the air pressure greater at the bottom at the top of the mountain?
on the bottom of the mountainbeacause you are more below air level
Would the pressure be greater at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of it?
At the bottom. You can think of the air pressure at a given location as being the weight of all the air in a column above it. Thus, the higher you go, the less air there is above you, and thus the lower the air pressure. In the extreme, when you rise out of the athmosphere, there is no air above you at all, and the air pressure is effectively zero - a vacuum. Air pressure is greater at the bottom of a mountain.
Why does sound travel faster at the bottom of a mountain than it does at the top?
Speed of sound in air is dependent on the air pressure, and air pressure is dependent on height above sea level. Up high, pressure is lower and speed of sound is different.
What is the bottom of the oceans like?
The bottom of oceans are much like land. There are mountain ranges, canyons, and volcanoes in the sand, with high pressure and dark, cold conditions.
What land form may have several different climate zones from bottom to top?
mountain
Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?
As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain
How come living things are not crushed by the pressure at the bottom of the sea?
It is usually through being open to the pressure, allowing the internal pressure of the creature to match the exterior pressure.
