Because of temperature change when you are up is higher and down is lower. So the air pressure would go lower.

What do heat and pressure change shale to?

Heat and pressure change shale into metamorphic rock, specifically slate when exposed to low to moderate levels of heat and pressure, and then further into phyllite, schist, and gneiss as the intensity of heat and pressure increases.


Would the pressure be greater at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of it?

At the bottom. You can think of the air pressure at a given location as being the weight of all the air in a column above it. Thus, the higher you go, the less air there is above you, and thus the lower the air pressure. In the extreme, when you rise out of the athmosphere, there is no air above you at all, and the air pressure is effectively zero - a vacuum. Air pressure is greater at the bottom of a mountain.


If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure it would likely change to?

If granite were subjected to intense heat and pressure, it would likely change to gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Gneiss forms through the recrystallization of minerals in granite under high temperature and pressure conditions.


If you performed a melting point experiment in the laboratory and on the top of the mountain would your results differ explain?

Yes, the results could differ because the atmospheric pressure varies with altitude, which can affect the boiling point of liquids, including the melting point of solids. The lower atmospheric pressure at the top of a mountain can cause the melting point of a substance to be slightly lower than at sea level.


Why is the level of air pressure less at the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?

Air is denser at lower altitudes and less dense at higher altitudes. If the bottom of the valley is directly below the mountain, at a lower altitude, then there is technically more air in the valley.

Can you change the boiling point of a liquid?

- You can change the boiling point of a liquid if you add different solutions or chemicals that alter its physical and chemical properties. - Also it can depend on pressure. If, for instance, you were on a mountain the pressure would be higher so the boiling point would be lower.


Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?

It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
