the atmospheric pressure can be considered as the pressure, exerted a columnna air over you, you imagine that this column goes from the limits of ammosfera to you, it's great right? the more we climbed the column of air is made smaller for at that the atmospheric pressure decreases.

How do weather change in different atmosphere?

The higher the elevation the less oxygen is there in the atmosphere so you will have more trouble breathing in higher elevations. It is also colder the higher you are resulting in snow in the summer on mountain tops.


Why are areas of higher elevation colder compared to areas of lower elevation?

Areas of higher elevation are colder compared to areas of lower elevation because the air pressure is lower at higher elevations, causing the air to expand and cool. Additionally, as you move higher in elevation, the atmosphere becomes thinner and contains less heat-absorbing gases, leading to lower temperatures.


Is air pressure higher at higher elevation?

No, air pressure decreases as elevation increases. This is because there is less air above you exerting downward pressure the higher up you go. At higher elevations, there is less atmosphere above to push down on you, resulting in lower air pressure.


What gets higher and trees get shorter and the atmosphere gets thinner?

elevation


Explain why a place at ligh elevation has a cooler temperature than one at low elevation?

Places at higher elevations have cooler temperatures because the air becomes less dense as elevation increases. This results in lower atmospheric pressure and less ability to trap heat, causing temperatures to drop. Additionally, higher elevations are often closer to the upper atmosphere, where temperatures are lower.


What gets higher when trees gets shorter and the atmosphere gets thinner?

elevation


What do you call things that that have little air resistance?

aerodynamic - you may want to check the spelling.


Is pressure higher at a lower or at a higher elevation?

Pressure decreases with increasing elevation, so pressure is higher at lower elevations and vice versa. This is because the density of the atmosphere decreases as you move further away from the Earth's surface.


How does air pressure vary with elevation?

The pressure of the air on one square-inch of your head is the weight of air from that square-inch all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. As you go up in elevation, some of the atmosphere is below you, and there is less of it above you. So the weight on each square inch, and thus the air pressure, becomes less.


Does composition of the atmosphere change with elevation?

The atmosphere gos through many cycles and changes. The significant gases in our atmosphere have not changed substantially in the past several centuries. The primary gas is still Nitrogen, then Oxygen.


As elevation increases this becomes thinner?

The atmosphere. As you go higher in elevation, the atmosphere becomes thinner because the air pressure decreases, leading to lower air density.


Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?

No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.
