Why is the pressure at 14000 ft above sea level 0.69 ATM while the pressure at 14000 ft below sea level is 470 ATM?

The pressure of rarefied air is strongly different from the pressure of a big layer of water.

Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Is sea level pressure the same as air pressure?
Assuming you are talking about air pressure, atmospheric pressure is created by the weight of the air resting against the earth. the higher up you go, the less air stacked on top of itself, and the pressure is less, until there is no more air at all (space). The pressure of air at sea level is relatively the same around the world because of all the water flows to the same level. this obviously changes with storms and hurricanes - as those move some of the air out of the way. So if you were to go below sea level, there would be more air on top of you, and the pressure would be higher. In death valley (well below sea level) the atmospheric pressure is much higher than at sea level. To answer the question, No, pressure is not negative below sea level. It is greater than at sea level.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
How can something on land be measured as below sea level?
it can be so under ground or low on pressure and be considered below sea level
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
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
What happens to boiling point above sea level?
As you go above sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and so the boiling point also decreases to below 100ºC.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Would you expect the air pressure in a valley that's below sea level to be higher or lower than air pressure at sea level?
The air pressure must be higher in a valley below "sea level". The air mass above this point is more than at sea level.
Is Alaska above or below sea level?
Above sea level
Is Michigan above or below sea level?
Above sea level
Is a plateau above sea level or below sea level?
Above sea level.
At what altitude does a bottle of soda fizz more when opened sea level below sea level or above sea level?
Above sea level, because the air pressure is less, so more carbon dioxide leaves the drink quickly.
Is Romania above or below sea level?
Romania is above sea level.
Is surrey bc above or below sea level?
above sea level
What does air pressure decrease as?
The atmosphere is of finite thickness so:-The higher up you are the less air there is above you to press down on you The nearer you are to sea level (or below sea level) the more are there is above you to press down on you. Thus as altitude decreases (you go towards sea level) the pressure will go up, not down.
