How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, so at the top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower compared to the bottom of the mountain. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below at higher altitudes.

There is more air pressure at a beach compared to the top of a mountain. Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, so the air pressure at the top of a mountain is lower than at sea level like a beach.


How can air tell the height of a mountain?

With the help of an instrument called barometer, you can tell approximately the height of a mountain, but you must climb to the top of the mountain to use such instrument. The higher is the mountain, there is less on the top of it, so the air pressure is fewer over there.

Why is air dense at sea level?

The air has the weight of all the air above it pressing down on it. this compresses the air increasing its density. So air at sea level is more dense than air on the top of the mountain, since the air on the mountain top has less air above it pressing down.


Is the air thick or thin up at the top of the alps mountain?

The air at the top of the Alps is thin due to the high altitude, which results in lower atmospheric pressure and reduced oxygen levels. As you ascend, the density of air decreases, making it feel less breathable. This can lead to altitude sickness for those who aren't acclimatized. Thus, while the air may feel cool, it is not thick; it is quite sparse.


Why can we not breathe 3000 feet of the ground?

I think that you may have left out a zero.I live at 3700 feet and breathe quite well.If it was 30,000 then it would be hard to breathe because at Mount Everest the air is thin. Gravity holds the air next to the ground and it begins to be thin on top of that very high mountain. So, think of air as a liquid that rests on the earth. It is only so thick ad then there is none in space.
