Why does water boil faster in the mountains than the city?
There is Less atmospheric pressure on a mountain. As pressure goes down, so does the temperature required to boil water.
What happens to the temperature if the pressure of a gas increases?
The pressure increases.
Which graph shows the pressure temperature relationship expected for an ideal gas?
as pressure goes UP, temp. goes DOWN as temp. goes UP, pressures goes DOWN
Why do gas particles rise when they are heated?
Since temperature is related to air pressure. As the sun heats the ground or ocean, warning them, the air near the ground or ocean warms and becomes less dense. As this happens the air begins rising, which lowers the air pressure at the Earth's surface. In detecting atmospheric pressure, a barometer measures the weight of the column of air that stretches directly above it from the Earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere. If air pressure goes up, this means that more air molecules are moving into that column of the atmosphere than are leaving it. Essentially, this "piling on" of air molecules increases air density, makes the column of air heavier and causes it to sink resulting in higher atmospheric pressure. Cold air entering a region would cause pressure to rise.
Why iodine exist in solid state but it is a gas?
Iodine sublimes (i.e., goes from a solid to a gas) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. However, it will exist as a solid for a very long time if it is kept in a closed container. As the iodine solid sublimes, the pressure will increase slightly within the closed container which will cause the iodine gas to reach an equillibrium state with the solid iodine (i.e., there will not be an increase in the amount of iodine gas in the container).
Atmospheric pressure goes on a downward direction only?
No
Does atmospheric pressure goes on downwards direction only?
no, it acts in all directions
Sound is a longitudinal wave What does the word 'longitudinal' mean?
It means the disturbance (e.g., pressure difference) goes in the same direction as the direction of the wave. In a transversal wave, on the other hand, the disturbance goes at a right angle.It means the disturbance (e.g., pressure difference) goes in the same direction as the direction of the wave.

Why do a weather balloon keep increasing in volume as it rises through the stratosphere?
As it goes higher, the atmospheric pressure decreases.
What generally happens to atmospheric pressure on a windy day?
On a windy day atmospheric pressure decreases because the higher the wind velocity, the lower the air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This is how chimneys work, the air that moves above the chimney causes low air pressure because of the high wind velocity compared the velocity of the air inside a house. The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
What is the gravitational pressure at sea level?
1) Atmospheric Pressure If this is for the answers to the worksheet that goes with Matter and Motion in God's Universe, 2) 14.7 PSI

There is Less atmospheric pressure on a mountain. As pressure goes down, so does the temperature required to boil water.
How do atmospheric pressure zones and ocean currents affect earth's energy balance?
Warm temp create area of low atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface while area of high pressure r generated when temp r relatively cold. Once established, the thermal gradient then develops a flow of air that goes from high 2 low pressure
Why balls reduce speed when it ascends higher?
As a ball goes up, the force of gravity is acting on it. The force of gravity means that acceleration in the upward direction is negative (and thus positive in the downward direction). The upward velocity of the ball decreases until it reaches zero - then ball begins to descend with increasing downward velocity.
What refrigerant has the lowest boiling temperatures at atmospheric pressure?
R-502 has thelowestboiling temperature atatmosphericpressure. It can be boiled as low as -50 deg F before the boiling pressure goes into a vacuum.
How would gas exchange be affected at the top of a tall mountain where air pressure is lower and there is less oxygen then lower elevations?
At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure is lower. Therefore, the partial pressure (partial oxygen) is lower. As partial pressure of oxygen goes down, the body's desire for oxygen goes up.
