Where would the air pressure be the greatest on top of a mountain or above Earth's atmosphere?

Air pressure is greatest at lower altitudes, such as at sea level, because there is more air above pushing down due to gravity. On top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower due to the reduced amount of air above. Similarly, above Earth's atmosphere, air pressure decreases significantly as altitude increases. Therefore, air pressure would be greatest at sea level, not on top of a mountain or above the atmosphere.


Why is the air thinner at the top of a mountain?

The closer you are to the edge of the atmosphere, the denser air gets. That's why mountain climbers find it difficult to breathe, as there is less oxygen in the air up there.


Where would air pressure be greatest at in the upper atmosphere on top on a mountain at the bottom of the clouds or at a beach?

Air pressure is greatest at sea level, such as at a beach, because it is influenced by the weight of the air above it. As altitude increases, like on top of a mountain or even at the bottom of the clouds, the air pressure decreases due to the reduced weight of the air column above. Therefore, air pressure would be greatest at the beach compared to higher elevations in the upper atmosphere or on a mountain.


Where will the atmospheric pressure greater at the base of the mountain or at the top why?

The atmospheric pressure will be greater at the base of the mountain because pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the weight of the overlying air. This means that as you climb higher up a mountain, the pressure will decrease.


What is on top of a mountain?

At the summit of a mountain, you might find rocks, snow, glaciers, vegetation, and possibly a marker denoting the peak. Wildlife like mountain goats or birds may also be spotted at the mountain's peak.

Could you describe the village in the young warriors?

Describe mountain top peak


Where can you see the atmosphere clearly?

You can usually see the atmosphere clearly during the day time. And, only if you are on top of a high surface, such as a mountain top.


What is the corner mountain called?

The term you may be looking for is "peak" or "summit." These are often used to describe the top point of a mountain.


Is it possible for a mountain to be so tall as to not have snow at the top?

If it were to go beyond the atmosphere there would be no snow, but no mountain on Earth will ever get close to that tall.


How would you describe the mood or atmosphere in the mountain on a summer day?

To describe the mood or atmosphere of a mountain on a summer day, one wants to choose words and use images that describe the overall setting. For example, if the overall setting is stormy and ominous, use words that describe the approaching (or present) storm, such as "stormy" and "grey" and "threatening". An appropriate image in this same case would be, "like a warrior attacking the enemy".

Would a person on mars choke because of the atmosphere?

No. Just die. Its pressure is less than the top of our highest mountain.


Which best describe the distribution of community on a tall mountain?

several biome conditions might be present depending on elevation, and there may be permanent ice conditions on top if the mountain.

Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?

The air pressure is lower at the top of a mountain because there is less air above pressing down on it, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure. This is due to the decrease in the density of air molecules at higher altitudes.


Why is it cool on mountain top?

It is cool because the earth has oaraledic atmosphere with lots of smafulsive microrganisms which react appropriately compulsive to the comploferic emusit atmosphere towards the sfumel free circle


Why is the temperature at the top of the mountain cooler than that at the bottom of the mountain?

In matters of height i will assume you are talking about a rather size-able mountain, along the lines of something like Mt. Rainier In Washington state. or Mt. Saint Hellens ( before she blew her top ) The reason the top of a mountain is colder than the bottom is quite simple. The air you breathe is called Atmosphere the closer to the surface of the earth the denser the Atmosphere. As you ascend a mountain, or gain altitude the Atmospheric Pressure reduces. This reduction in the density of the atmosphere does not allow for the storage of the same amount of heat as lower altitudes. There are many layers of atmosphere, and some Mountains can penetrate several of them. I have included a link to an image pulled from Google image search to further illustrate. See Related Link
