What else can I help you with?
Is it hot or cold on the top of a mountain?
it depends on how high up the mountain you are.the higher you get the colder it gets.
Why is it colder on top of a mountain than it is at a beach?
Temperatures drop as you gain altitude because the air becomes thinner and less able to trap heat. This results in cooler temperatures at the peak of a mountain compared to a beach at sea level where the denser air retains more heat.
Why is it colder at the top of the mountain than sea level?
Temperatures decrease with altitude because the air becomes less dense as you move higher up the mountain. This thinner air is not as effective at trapping heat, leading to lower temperatures at higher elevations.
How will the air at the top of a mountain be different from the air at the base?
The air at the top of the mountain is less dense, meaning there are less particles of oxygen in a certain are than on the ground. It is harder to breathe because the air is so thin, there is not enough oxygen to breathe normally until you get used to it.
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.
A cubic meter of air has less at the top of a mountain or the bottom?
well air is thinner at higher elevations so i would say less at the top...
Why does the top of a mountain have greater air pressure?
The top of a mountain has lower air pressure, not greater air pressure, compared to lower elevations. This is because the higher you go in elevation, the thinner the atmosphere becomes, leading to lower air pressure due to decreased atmospheric density.
Why is there less air pressure on top of a mountain?
There is less air pressure on top of a mountain because the weight of the air above is less due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. This causes the air molecules to be more spread out, resulting in lower pressure.
Why is it hard to breath at the top of a mountain when you live at sea level?
Air is thinner. So until you are used to it -it feels difficult
Why does water boils higher at sea level on earth than on top of a mountain?
aaarrrggg, i know this one. its something to do with the air being thinner
How is the air at the top of a mountain different from the air at the base of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is thinner than the air at the base of the mountain. That is why you are harder breathing on the top than on the bottom.The gases are about the same, but there is usually a lot less water vapor (because its cold) :but the pressure is less (that is, the number of molecules per cubic foot is less), down to the point that on top of the tallest mountains humans can not survive for any appreciable time.
Is it hot or cold on the top of a mountain?
it depends on how high up the mountain you are.the higher you get the colder it gets.
Why would the top of a mountain have a low air pressure?
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest
What is the air like at the top of a mountain?
The air is usually very thin at the top of a mountain.
What happens to air as you go up in the atmosphere?
The air gets thinner. That's why if you are climbing a mountain the trees are shorter as you get to the top because they don't have as much air as the lower atmosphere.
Why it snows on mountain?
As hot air rises, there is less pressure pushing down on it. As a result, the rising air expands. This causes the air to cool. Thinner air + lower pressure = colder conditions. Water vapors in the air then turn to ice (snow) as the it meets the colder air and falls upon the mountain top
What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?
From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.
