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 caused the water to evaporate in this model?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
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.
Does a planet need atmosphere to have a Greenhouse Effect?
Yes. The greenhouse effect is caused by gasses that block thermal radiation from a planet's surface.
What caused te Earth's atmosphere to exist?
What caused the Earth's atmosphere to exist?
How is air pressure effected by altitude?
With a higher altitude, there is a lower air pressure. This is caused by gravity pulling the gas molecules of our atmosphere closer to its surface. when the molecules are farther away from the Earth's surface the gravitational pull is weaker thus making the atmosphere thinner higher up and thicker closer to the surface.
