What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?
As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and depth?
The deeper you go, the more air is above you ... thus higher air pressure.
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
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.
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.
Which atmospheric layer does NOT exist above polar regions?
stratospheric
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the point... at sea level there is more air above the point then there would be at 10,000ft
How are density pressure and altitude related?
The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure becomes. This can be logically understood. Atmospheric air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above it. At greater heights, the amount of air above you is less, so there is less weight pressing on the air you are in. This is the reason why the atmospheric pressure is higher at the sea-levels and lower at mountains and places of high altitudes.
How does atmospheric pressure change with height above sea level?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the surface of the earth. As elevation increases, there is less air above the location and the pressure is lower. At sea level the column of air above the area is greater.?æ
What does absolute pressure include that gauge pressure does not?
abosulute pressure includes the atmospheric pressure while gage pressure gives the pressure above atmospheric pressure
What happens when the atmospheric pressure is greatest near the Earths surface?
Air pressure is always greater nearer the earth surface than at altitude due to the mass of air above.
When intrapulmonary pressure is above atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
expiration
To measure pressure above atmospheric pressure you would use a?
mercury manometer
What happens the deeper you swim?
The deeper you swim, the greater pressure becomes because there is more water above you pressing down.
How does atmospheric pressure affect you. How does atmospheric pressure change as you increase your distance above earth's surface?
I dont do science i am a more pe type
What happens to atmospheric pressure as you move up away from sea level?
As altitude above seal level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
What is the relationship between altitude and atmospheric pressure?
the relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude is the higher you go, the lesser the atmospheric pressure becomes. if the air above you is less, then there is less weight being pressed upon the air you are on. anonymous boy from small heath school y8 2011
