What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
How is low pressure area developed?
A low pressure area is caused by a drop in temperature in the atmosphere.
Why doesn't a closed air bag collapse under the weight of earths atmosphere?
The pressure inside the bag is the same as the pressure outside.
Why does Mars have low atmospheric pressure?
Mars has a low atmospheric pressure reading because there is a lighter atmosphere, which means less air, which means less weight or pressure.
Atmospheric pressure is caused by what?
force = pressure x area , so pressure is force divided by area, air molecules stack up on top of each other and the force of them (caused by gravity and their mass ) weighs down with a pressure of 14.7 lbs/sq inch or 1 bar. As you go higher the stack is lower so the pressure drops until you get to space and it measures a vacuum.
The atmospheric condition that is caused by the weight of gases in the atmosphere is?
Barometric pressure
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
Why does the pressure drop as you travel upward from earth's surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
What factor causes atmosphere pressure?
Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.
What is the force the Sun exerts on the Earth?
The air pressure on Earth is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pressing down. This pressure is also known as "atmospheric pressure". Normal atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is 101 kPa, 760 mm Hg, or 14.7 psig
What is most responsible for the pressure in the earths atmosphere?
The weight.
What is the weight or force of the air in the atmosphere?
ai pressure
Atmospheric condition that is caused by the weight of gases in the atmosphere is?
Weather
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
What the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.
How is low pressure area developed?
A low pressure area is caused by a drop in temperature in the atmosphere.
Which factor causes atmospheric pressure?
The cause is weight of the atmosphere.
