What 2 things affect air pressure?

Altitude , weather systems and gravity.Gravity is the reason of the air pressure , of course this is not noticed as the gravity is affecting every where. Also in terms of wind, heat is a major factor due to the varying temperature of night and day, and the fact that gasses tend to 'expand' when heated and 'shrink' when cooled.


Which describes how temperature humidity and pressure vary within an air mass?

Temperature within an air mass varies due to the amount of solar radiation it has been exposed to, while humidity depends on the evaporation and condensation of water vapor. Pressure within an air mass is influenced by the weight of the air above it, which can change due to factors like temperature and altitude.


Which two qualities affect atmospheric pressure?

Temperature and altitude are two qualities that affect atmospheric pressure. As temperature increases, air molecules move faster and create higher pressure. At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules above, leading to lower pressure.


What is humidity and how is it affected by temperature and pressure?

Simply humidity is percentage of moisture in atmosphere or in a gas.When temp. increases pressure reduces, that means gas percentage reduces in unit volume. But due to latent heat of water vapor expansion of vapor is less which results in increase in humidity. And when temp reduces, gaseous volume increases result in less humidity. The above case is for constant water vapor in air. If rain is there humidity increases because of chance of getting to water vapor is more.


What factors determine the intensity of air pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. It is defined as the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface. The average atmospheric pressure, at sea level, is about 1 atmosphere (atm) = 101325 pascals, or 101.3 kPa (kilopascals). Don't say intensity of air pressure. Say strength of air pressure, because intensity is an "energy quantity" and pressure is a "field quantity. Our eardrums are moved only by the sound pressure.

Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?

The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.

At what pressure gas will be convert into liquid?

Above Critical Pressure. This will depend on the gas and its temperature.


What is the measure of the force exerted by a gas above a liquid?

The force exerted by a gas above a liquid is measured as pressure, typically in units such as atmospheres (atm) or pascals (Pa). This pressure is a result of the gas molecules colliding with the liquid surface and is influenced by factors such as temperature and the amount of gas present.

Is the solubility of solids in water independent of pressure above solution?

Generally, the solubility of solids in water is not significantly affected by pressure above the solution. However, solubility can be influenced by certain factors such as temperature and the presence of other solutes. Therefore, while pressure may have a minimal impact on solubility, these other factors are typically more influential.


Is pressure increases or decreases as you go altitudes?

Pressure has to decrease as the amount of air above our head get decreased.


Why does the air pressure change the altitude in the atmosphere?

As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
