No, the pressure decreases and you go higher into the atmosphere because the "air" is less dense....there is more space, but less molecules interacting with one another. Nearly half of the atmosphere's mass is contained to the first 18,000 FT (near 500mb) which is also a function of both gravity and the structure of chemical components within layers of the atmosphere. I hope that helps a little.
What else can I help you with?
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
What happens to pressure and temperature the closer you move to the core?
As you move closer to the core of the Earth, both pressure and temperature increase. The increase in pressure is due to the weight of the overlying rocks and materials compressing the layers below. The increase in temperature is mainly a result of the Earth's internal heat and radioactive decay of elements.
In What way is the pressure in the atmosphere like the pressure in a liquid?
The pressure in the atmosphere and in a liquid both increase with depth. As you go deeper into the atmosphere or the liquid, there are more air or liquid particles above pushing down, which leads to an increase in pressure. This relationship is described by Pascal's principle.
What effect does an increase in pressure have on the density of a material?
An increase in pressure typically increases the density of a material. This is because the higher pressure causes the atoms or molecules in the material to be closer together, thus increasing the overall density.
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure at the Earth's surface. As air sinks, it compresses and becomes denser, leading to an increase in pressure at the surface. This high pressure often leads to fair weather and clear skies.
When there is an increase in blood pressure does it get lower or higher?
higher
How can I use a cold water storage tank to increase my water pressure?
By elevating it higher as every foot higher will increase the static pressure almost a half a pound
When the layer of the air that sorrounds the earth presses down this is called what?
This is called atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the air above a given point on Earth's surface.
If you increase the pressure the boiling point will increase or remain same?
If you increase the pressure, the boiling point of a substance will increase. This is because higher pressure leads to stronger intermolecular forces, requiring more energy to overcome them for the substance to boil.
When you get higher what happens to air pressure?
As you increase in altitude, the air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, the fewer air molecules are present above you, leading to lower pressure. In general, air pressure decreases by about 1 atmosphere for every 10,000 feet increase in altitude.
What can you do to increase the temperature of boiling water?
To increase the temperature of boiling water, you can apply more heat to the water by turning up the stove or using a higher heat setting. You can also increase the pressure around the water, which will lead to a higher boiling point.
Why does water pressure increase overnight?
Water pressure can increase overnight due to decreased water usage in the area, which allows water to build up in the pipes and create higher pressure.
Why is the vapor pressure of a warm lake higher than the vapor pressure of a cold lake?
The vapor pressure of a warm lake is higher than that of a cold lake because higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of water molecules, causing them to evaporate more easily and increase the pressure of water vapor above the lake's surface.
How does pressure affect boiling point?
An increase in pressure raises the boiling point of a liquid because it takes more energy for the liquid molecules to escape the higher atmospheric pressure above them. Conversely, decreasing the pressure lowers the boiling point as it requires less energy for the molecules to overcome the reduced atmospheric pressure.
Describe the effect of increasing the beaker pressure on glomerular pressure?
Increasing the beaker pressure will increase the glomerular pressure. This is because the pressure in the glomerulus is dependent on the pressure in the renal artery, which is influenced by the pressure in the beaker. As the beaker pressure increases, it will lead to higher pressure in the renal artery and subsequently in the glomerulus.
Does pressure increase or decrease as you travel to the center of the earth?
It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).
What happens to pressure at different temperatures?
Pressure (such as air in a balloon) can increase with higher temps and decrease with lower temps.
