What else can I help you with?
Will a balloon's volume increase or decrease on top of a mountain?
Air pressure decreases the higher up you go, according to Boyle's law volume and pressire are inversely proportional, so volume will increase.
Is there a difference in air as you go up the mountain?
yes, as you go farther up from the sea level, the air will become thinner.
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you move up into the atmosphere?
Air pressure decreases as you go up.
If you go up a mountain will air pressure become less?
Yes, as you go up a mountain, the air pressure will become less. This is because the weight of the air above decreases as you gain elevation, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
What happens to air pressure as you go up a mountain?
The air pressure slowly decreases as you rise in altitude.
Why do air masses go up a mountain side?
When an air mass encounters mountains it cannot go through them, nor down into the ground, so the only direction left to go is up.
does a mountain get hotter or colder as you go up?
Most often, the air at higher elevations is cooler than the air at lower elevations. The act of your climbing the mountain has no effect on it.
How does air pressure change when you go up a mountain?
Air pressure at any altitude is determined by how strongly gravity forces the surrounding air molecules together and downward. The higher the altitude the less pull gravity exerts on the air molecules, and consequently, the air pressure decreases. So, as you climb a mountain, the higher you go, the lower the ambient air pressure.
What happens as you go up a mountain?
As you go up a mountain, the air pressure decreases, which can lead to lower oxygen levels. This may cause difficulties breathing and can lead to altitude sickness. The temperature also tends to drop as you ascend.
What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?
From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.
What happens to air pressure as you go up mountain why?
A 1inch by 1inch column of air from the edge of the atmosphere to sea level weighs 14.7 pounds, 80% of that is in the Troposphere. As you go up, the air within that column has less mass, making the air "thinner", and air pressure goes decreases.
Why is it always colder up a mountain?
As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases which causes the air to expand and cool down. This drop in temperature is known as the lapse rate. Additionally, mountains are often exposed to high winds which can further contribute to lower temperatures.
