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.


At approximately what height in the atmosphere would the atmospheric pressure be at 1.0 millibars?

The atmospheric pressure of 1.0 millibars is typically found at an altitude of about 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. At this height, the pressure is very low, and it is considered to be part of the upper atmosphere or exosphere.


Is it true or false atmosphere pressure increase with height?

False. Atmospheric pressure decreases with height. As you go higher in the atmosphere, there is less air above you, resulting in lower pressure. This is why mountaineers often experience difficulties due to the reduced oxygen levels at higher altitudes.


What height in the atmosphere would atomospheric pressure be 1.0 millibars?

320,000 ft above sea leavel


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.


Why does atmospheric pressure increase with height?

Atmospheric pressure decreases with height due to the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. As you move higher in the atmosphere, the air becomes less dense because there is less weight of air above it, leading to a decrease in pressure.


How much is 1 atmosphere?

the atmosphere around us is troposphere in which we live and it is present upto 20km above earth..


What happens to the density of the atmosphere as height increases?

As height increases, the density of the atmosphere decreases. This is because there is less air above pushing down, leading to lower pressure and fewer air molecules per unit volume at higher altitudes.


Why air pressure decrease as you go higher in the earth's atmosphere?

As you move higher in the Earth's atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you exerting pressure downward. This leads to a decrease in air pressure with increasing altitude. The force of gravity still acts on the air molecules, but the density of the atmosphere decreases with height, resulting in lower pressure.


What factor causes atmosphere pressure?

Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.


Why does the pressure drop as you travel upward from earth's surface?

As you travel upward from the Earth's surface, the column of air above you decreases in height, leading to less air above exerting pressure downwards. This results in a decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude.
