At sea level, you have one atmosphere of pressure(14.7 psi). Every 33 ft that you descend adds another atmosphere of pressure. Therefore 3000 ft/33 ft=90.91 ATM. Now add the one atmosphere at the surface to get 91.91 ATM of pressure at 3000 ft depth. Also, 91.91 ATM times 14.7 psi per ATM of pressure equals 1,351 psi.

Does pressure decrease as you go up through the atmosphere?

No; rather the reverse, as you rise up into the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases. Why? Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. (If air did not have weight, it would all drift away into space and we'd be in a vacuum.) As you ascend, there is less air above you to make that pressure, so the pressure decreases. What does ascend mean?


What is the state of matter of calcium hydroxide?

Calcium hydroxide is a solid at room temperature. It becomes a liquid when heated above 1000 K. The melting point of calcium hydroxide is more than 3000 K.


Where are most of the gas molecules in the atmosphere found?

Most of the gas molecules in the atmosphere are found in the lower part of the atmosphere, called the troposphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface, where most weather events occur and where most living organisms exist.


Is this True or false is the mantle is nearly 3000 kilometers thick?

True. The mantle is indeed nearly 3000 kilometers thick and is located beneath the Earth's crust. It is composed of solid rock that behaves like a plastic due to high temperature and pressure.


What is the transition altitude in France?

The Transition Altitude (TA) in France is generally 3000 FT AGL (above ground level). But most controlled airspace (TMA) uses another TA (4000, 5000 or 6000). The TA is printed on the official maps. Or you cold listen to ATIS. Or just ask a controller when unsure ...

How much pressure is at 3000 meters below water level?

At a depth of 3,000 meters below water level, the pressure can be calculated using the formula: pressure = depth × density of water × gravitational acceleration. The average density of seawater is about 1,025 kg/m³, and gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s². Thus, the pressure at this depth is roughly 30,000 kPa, or about 300 times atmospheric pressure (1 atm being approximately 101.3 kPa).


Why water has a different boiling point at an elevation of 3000 meters than it does at sea level?

Water will boil at approx 100 degrees c at sea level. This is at a pressure of 1 bar.(14.7psi). As you get higher (say mount Everest) there is less pressure thus the boiling point will drop. If you own a car, you will probably know that the radiator in your car is pressurised. This is to enable the water that is used to cool down your car's engine to be able to absorb a lot more heat before it boils (something that shouldn't happen normally!). Due to the water not being allowed to boil, it will continually cool down the engine. Hope that helped!

The temperature at sea level is 20 degrees celsius. What is the temperature at the top of a mountain 3000 m above sea level? Decrease of temperature with height: 6.5 Kelvin per km to about 11 km altitude. That is for a height of 3 km = 3000 m about 6.5 times 3 = 19.5 degrees colder than the ground. So if at ground it is 20°C, at the top of the mountain (3000 m) it will be about 0°C.


Why can you not breathe 3000 feet off the ground?

This Is Because the atmospheric pressure of earth is always acting.We did not feel this because our blood pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.It is perfectly possible to breath at this altitude. Mt. Everest, which is much higher than this, has been climbed without any breathing aids.


What is the average number of feet above sea level for the coastal plain region of the US?

What is the values for pressure?

The value for pressure depends on the specific system or situation. For example, atmospheric pressure at sea level is typically around 101.3 kilopascals (kPa) or 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). However, pressure values can vary greatly in different contexts, such as in a car tire (usually around 30-35 psi) or in a scuba diving tank (around 200-3000 psi).

What are some cities 3000 feet above sea level?

Some cities that are around 3000 feet above sea level include Denver, Colorado; Bogota, Colombia; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; and Quito, Ecuador. These cities often have unique climates and ecosystems due to their high altitude.


How are fault-block mountains formed?

Fault Block mountains or Horst- formed when colliding plates build up pressure along parallel cracks (faults) in the Earth's surface. The extreme pressure causes large blocks of land to slip and be uplifted. Elevations are normally greater than 3000 meters above sea level. Example: The Sierra Nevadas of California.
