Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
Is diastole the highest pressure in the arteries?
No, diastole is the period when a particular chamber of the heart relaxes. the highest pressure period is during systole.
Does Air flows towards low pressure regions?
Air does generally flow from high pressure to low pressure.
Air pressure is where?
it comes from air
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 layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
Where on earth is the air pressure the highest?
The air pressure is highest in areas which are the coolestÊwhich leads to air sinkingÊand creating high pressure at the surface. The opposite is true for areas which are warmest. This causes the air to rise, making pressure at the surface lower.
Where would air pressure be the highest on a mountain?
At the base of the mountain.
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 case would have the highest air pressure?
A cold, wet day
Where is air pressure the highest sea level or atop a mountain?
Sea level
Which location would have the most air molecules per cubic foot?
Probably the shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. Being the lowest place on the earth's dry land, it has the highest air pressure, and therefore the air with the highest density.
Why is air pressure greatest at earthes surface?
Same reason water pressure is the highest at the bottom of the ocean - the amount of stuff above, pushing down.
What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement?
Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position, not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure, but how great (or small) the physical distance between them. Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind) the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
Air pressure is highest when the air is?
Cool and dry. I do not completely agree with the answer above. When air has more moisture in it, it is heavier. When it is colder it is denser and heavier. Air planes have more "lift" in higher humidity and hot air is what makes balloons rise. In weather it appears that air is dry when the pressure is high...more rain when the pressure is low. That is a factor of weather patterns, not properties of air.
