The air pressure is highest in areas which are the coolestÊwhich leads to air sinkingÊand creating high pressure at the surface. The opposite is true for areas which are warmest. This causes the air to rise, making pressure at the surface lower.
The air pressure increases as you go up.
Correction: The air pressure decreases as you go up. The shallower the air above you, the less it weighs. The same is true of water.
--> Air pressure is also highest in the polar regions.... highest pressure ever recorded was in Russia (Siberia) of 108.4 KPa as apposed to average of 101.3 due to very cold temperature of -50s.
Added: Air pressure is measurably higher at the level of the Dead Sea... some 1300? ft. below sea level...more air stacked on top of you.
Air pressure
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
at the surface
air pressurevaries according to the altitude.this is called vertical distributon of air pressure
Atmospheric Pressure or Air Pressure.
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
Probably the shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. Being the lowest place on the earth's dry land, it has the highest air pressure, and therefore the air with the highest density.
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
What in the community relates to air pressure?
Air pressure is basically the weight of air on surfaces.
Air pressure
Earth + earth or air + air
Earth + earth or air + air
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
