Becuase of weather

The decreased pressure means that the air molecules don't excite each other as much, since there are less collisions, so there is less (heat) energy going around. Also, there is simply less material to hold onto the heat than there is at lower altitudes.

because as you get higher into the air the air gets lighter and becomes cold


Does pressure increase or decrease as you travel to the center of the earth?

It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).


Does increasing the temperature increase or decrease the speed of diffusion?

Increasing the temperature will increase the speed. Remember Dalton's theory: Particles at a higher temperature tend to move faster on average than particles at a lower temperature.

Does temperature affect the strengh of a magnet?

Yes, it does due to the magnetic force coming from the magnet. After a period of time the magnet that is in lower temperature increases while higher temperatures decrease.


What will be effect if high temperature shift converter inlet temperature decrease?

If the temperature is less than the temoerature requ ired for reaction to proceed,higher co slip will result.Decreasing the inlet temperature to optimum inlet temperature will result in more conversion.


What happens to air as temperature increases?

Air pressure rises and drops as the temperate changes because the higher temperatures weigh down the air to create low pressure. When it is cooler, the air can rise more which creates high pressure.
