Air produces a force on the surface of an object (in this case the earth) because of the movement of the particles that make up air. This force over a defined area is known as pressure.
What else can I help you with?
Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
What the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.
What kind of pressure does a column of air exert on the air or surface below it?
A column of air exerts atmospheric pressure on the air or surface below it. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the lower air or surface.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on all objects and surfaces within it, including buildings, people, and the Earth's surface. This pressure is a result of the weight of air molecules above pressing down on objects below.
What is the amount of air placing on the earth is called?
The amount of air pressing down on the Earth's surface is called atmospheric pressure. It is caused by the weight of the air molecules in the atmosphere and is typically measured in units such as pascals or atmospheres. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, as there is less air above to exert force.
What happens to air pressure as distance from earth's surface increases?
the air pressure increases
What air pressure is caused by?
Air pressure is caused by the unequal heating of earth's surface.
Does air exert any pressure?
There is about 2 ton of air on every square foot of the Earth (less at high altitudes)
What is the amount of force that air is placing on the earth called?
The force exerted by air on the Earth's surface is called atmospheric pressure. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pressing down on the Earth's surface.
What causes the air presure?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of air molecules pressing down on a surface due to gravity. As air molecules are pulled toward the Earth's surface, they exert force on objects, creating pressure. Factors such as temperature, altitude, and humidity can also influence air pressure, with warmer air being less dense and exerting lower pressure, while colder air is denser and exerts higher pressure. Changes in air pressure can lead to weather phenomena and affect wind patterns.
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
What Gases in earths atmosphere exert what on everything?
Pressure
