Air pressure is a product of the operation of gravity on the mass of atmospheric air. If there were insufficient or no gravity on Earth, the atmosphere would drift off into space. There would be no air pressure. But, because there IS gravity on Earth, the atmosphere presses down on Earth's surface, resulting in the phenomenon known as air pressure.

How can monitoring changes in air pressure predict weather conditions?
There has to be certain conditions for certain weather patterns to happen so the barometric pressure tells alot about how and what may happen
What uses air pressure to work?
air
Great masses of air molecules pushing down from adove?
It is AIR PRESSURE!!
If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?
Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!
What is air moves from a point at which air pressure?
high pressure to low pressure
What would happen to the air pressure when the air is sucked out?
The air pressure would reduce.
When does air pressure happen?
by wind
What happen to the air pressure in a higher altitude?
The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.
What makes wind happen?
Atmospheric pressure creates winds. Air moves to places with low pressure from places with high pressure. When air moves it creates wind.
What would happen if the air outside the hot air balloon were as hot as air inside?
what are the charicteristics about of a high pressure system
What if oxygen is removed from a sample of air as iron rusts what happen to the partial pressure of oxygen in the air?
it decreases
What will happen to the air if you climb a mountain?
As you climb the mountain, the air pressure decreases. The temperature also drops.
Is the pressure inside the balloon equal to the atmospheric pressure?
Think about this: if the pressure WERE equal, what would happen in the instant when you open the neck of the balloon and whatever pressure is on the inside meets the pressure that is on the outside (atmospheric pressure)? In your experience, what DOES happen?
What will happen if you swim to titanic?
You would drown. water pressure > air pressure. water either pushes air out or your lungs collapse. also, you don't have gills.
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
How can monitoring changes in air pressure predict weather conditions?
There has to be certain conditions for certain weather patterns to happen so the barometric pressure tells alot about how and what may happen
What might happen to a person riding a bike if the air pressure in the two tires is not the same?
what might happen is that the bike will fall over because the bike is not equal air pressure so it will till or fall over because one side has to much air and the other one does
