The human respiratory system would be most affected by a lower than normal atmospheric pressure because the air would be much thinner and therefore contain less oxygen.

High pressure system definition?
is a region where the ATMOSPHERIC at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment

What is the difference between pressure and atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is a unit of measument, and measure the pressure of the air. Much like the deeper you go in the ocean the higher the pressure is. You are actually on the bottom of an ocean of air, the higher up the less atmospheric pressure and eventually there is non when you reach outer space.
What do high and low pressure systems have to do with wind?
A high pressure system has a weaker horizontal pressure gradient than a low pressure system, which means the atmospheric pressure varies widely in a low pressure system and doesn't vary much in a high pressure system. The wind speed depends on the strength of the horizontal pressure gradient.On a meteorological map, the horizontal pressure gradient is marked with isobars, which are lines with match the points with the same atmospheric pressure. A high pressure system is characterized by widely spaced isobars while low pressure systems are noted by tightened close isobars.A high pressure system may have an air pressure of 1028 hPa in his core and 1013 hPa in its periphery: the air pressure varies about 16 hPa. A low pressure system may have an air pressure of 987 hPa in its core and 1013 in its periphery : the air pressure varies about 26 hPa. So, the winds will be very light and even non-existent in a high pressure system while the winds will be very strong and even turbulent in a low pressure system.
How is cyclone described?
A large-scale, atmospheric wind-and-pressure system characterized by low pressure at its center and by circular wind motion, counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
How does atmospheric pressure affect a cows digestive system?
It doesn't.
What does rising atmospheric pressure usually indicates?
a high pressure system is moving into an area
What does a snifter valve do on a water well system?
Introduces air into the system at an atmospheric pressure
What is a vacuum breaker?
A vacuum breaker is a mechnical device used to avoid backflow or a negative pressure in a plumbing system. It typically consists of an air valve with a spring holding it closed. When the pressure within the system is positive, the valve remains closed. When the pressure is negative (less than atmospheric), the negative pressure overcomes the force of the spring holding the valve closed and the it opens, typically allowing normal atmospheric air to enter the system, thereby eliminating the negative pressure. Otherwise, the negative pressure might cause backflow of the plumbing system. ...
Why 0 psia is to measured?
PSIA is Pounds per Square Inch Absolute, as opposed to PSIG which is PSI Gauge. PSIA is absolute pressure. For example, normal atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSIA, so a PSIA device connected to atmosphere would read 14.7. PSIG is relative pressure, so if system pressure is 15.7 PSIA, and atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSIA, then PSIG would be 1.0
What does Hg stand for in the metric system?
Nothing.Hg is the chemical symbol for Mercury and, under the old system, atmospheric pressure was measured in terms of the height of a column of mercury that it could support. In the SI systems this has been replaced by pressure measured in Pascals. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa.
What are Illness or sickness of nervous system?
Decompression Sickness-rapid reduction of the atmospheric pressure
Can performing a pressure check for leaks in coolant system cause a crack in my radiator pleas help?
No, the system is only checked at normal operating pressure.No, the system is only checked at normal operating pressure.
Do you need to increase the cooling system relief valve setting at altitude to compensate for lower atmospheric pressure?
no, but check your tire pressure
What causes Back pressure on cooling system?
Condenser Backpressure is the difference between the Atmospheric Pressure and the Vacuum Reading of the Condenser, that is: Backpressure = Atm. Pressure - Condenser Vacuum Pressure Reading Usually, the condenser vacuum pressure is read by a manometer installed at the condenser. The atmospheric pressure is read using a barometer
High pressure system definition?
is a region where the ATMOSPHERIC at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment
Why barometric condenser is installed at least 34 feet 10.4 meters above the ground?
Because this high (which is the height of a lliquid column equivalent to the atmospheric pressure) will compensate the atmospheric pressure autside of the system under vacuum
