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

∙ 12y agothe atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)

∙ 14y agoPressure increases the deeper you go into the sea.

∙ 14y agopressure decreases as altitude increases, because there is a lower concentration of particles for a given area
Wiki User
∙ 11y agothere is more air at the sea level....but at the top of a montain there s very less air...therefoe there is more pressure at the sa level

∙ 10y agopressure is greater below sea level.

How do you get the percentage of atmosphere above a height given in km and then how do you get the pressure for the height in mb?
Formulas for atmospheric pressure variation with altitude. Scroll down to related links and look at "Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia".
When intrapulmonary pressure is above atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
expiration
The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
The standard sea level pressure is?
A standard atmosphere, denoted by the symbol atm, is a unit of pressure measurement equal to 101,325 pascals, 760 millimeters of mercury, 29.9212 inches of mercury, or 14.696 pounds per square inch. The relationship between atmospheric pressure change and height above the earth's surface
How does atmospheric pressure change as you move up away from sea level?
as you move up from sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases. At higher elevations, theres less air above you so therefor less air pressure. When the air pressure outside your body decreases, the air pressure inside also decreases (slowly).

Does an altimeter measure height?
An altimeter actually measure brometric (atmospheric) pressure, which converts to height above sea level
How does atmospheric pressure affect you. How does atmospheric pressure change as you increase your distance above earth's surface?
I dont do science i am a more pe type
Why barometric condenser is installed at least 34 feet 10.4 meters above the ground?
Because this high (which is the height of a lliquid column equivalent to the atmospheric pressure) will compensate the atmospheric pressure autside of the system under vacuum
Why atmospheric pressure varies with height in a different way from the way liquid pressure varies with depth.?
For the same reason. The liquid above the location considered, or the atmosphere above the position considered, helps contribute to the pressure; if there is more liquid or atmosphere above, there is more pressure.
What does absolute pressure include that gauge pressure does not?
abosulute pressure includes the atmospheric pressure while gage pressure gives the pressure above atmospheric pressure
Is a line which represent continuous value on maps?
Isobar for atmospheric pressure, isotherm for temperature, or contour for height above (below) sea level.
When intrapulmonary pressure is above atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
expiration
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the point... at sea level there is more air above the point then there would be at 10,000ft
Weather element that always decreases with increasing height?
Pressure always decreases with height. This is because atmospheric pressure is just a measure of how much air is weighing down. So the higher you go in the atmosphere, the less air is above you (more of it is below you) and the lower the pressure will be.
To measure pressure above atmospheric pressure you would use a?
mercury manometer
