Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the pressure drop as you travel upward from earth's surface?
As you travel upward from the Earth's surface, the column of air above you decreases in height, leading to less air above exerting pressure downwards. This results in a decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude.
What causes the air pressure drop as you travel upward from earth's surface?
Pressure is the weight of air column on unit area. As you go upward, this air column gets shorter, its weight gets less, hence air pressure gets lower.
How does pressure changes as you go from the surface to the center of the earth?
As you travel from the surface to the center of the Earth, pressure will increase enormously, because of the increasing weight of what is above you.
As the earth is heated by the sun bubbles of rise blank blank upward from the warm surface?
As the earth is heated by the sun, bubbles of air rise upward from the warm surface.
Seismic waves travel through?
The Surface Of The Earth (The Ground) and though the centre of the Earth. Hey are pressure waves like sound waves.
What is a force that pushes the heated rock upward?
The force that pushes heated rock upward is typically convection currents in the mantle. As rock near the Earth's core heats up, it becomes less dense and rises towards the surface. This movement creates pressure that pushes the rock upward.
These are created when sections of the earths surface are folded and thrust upward?
Mountain ranges are created when sections of the Earth's surface are folded and thrust upward due to tectonic plate movements. The pressure exerted by these movements causes the rocks to deform and bend, eventually leading to the formation of mountain ranges.
When the pressure of a rock layers pressing on an aquifer from above and below squeezes water up to the earth surface is called an?
This process is called artesian flow or artesian well. It occurs when confined groundwater is under pressure and flows upward to the surface due to the pressure gradient created by the surrounding rock layers.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Does a surface wave go through the body of the earth or along the surface?
Surface waves (as the name suggests) travel along Earth's surface. Seismic waves that travel through earth's interior are known instead as body waves.
What two things increase with depth beneath the surface of earth?
Pressure and temperature increase with depth beneath the surface of the Earth.
What is a stratospohere?
The stratosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The stratosphere is the second layer, as one moves upward from Earth's surface, of the atmosphere.
