What happens to the pressure as you move from the center of the earth toward the surface?

Temperature and pressure increase massively from earth's surface to the centre of the Earth. At the inner core, the pressure is so great that iron is solid, even at such high temperatures.


Why is in the air immediately around earth more compressed than air that is further up in the atmosphere?

The air closer to the Earth's surface is subject to the weight of all the air above it, which creates higher pressure. As you move higher up in the atmosphere, there is less air above, resulting in lower pressure and less compression. This variation in pressure creates different layers of air density in the atmosphere.


Is caused by the uneven heating of earths atmosphere?

Uneven heating of the Earth's atmosphere creates differences in temperature and pressure, which drive weather patterns and circulation of air masses. This creates winds, storms, and other weather events as the atmosphere seeks to balance these temperature and pressure variations.


What is the link between the uneven heating of the earth's surface and air movement?

Uneven heating of the Earth's surface creates temperature variations which in turn generate differences in air pressure. This pressure difference results in the movement of air masses, causing winds to blow from high pressure to low pressure areas. This process of air movement is what drives weather patterns and circulation systems on Earth.


True or false particles of air are pulled toward earth's surface by the force of gravity?

True. Air particles are pulled towards Earth's surface by the force of gravity, which creates atmospheric pressure.

What creates heat inside the earth?

pressure from the mantel.


What kind of pressure do the layers surrounding earth exert?

the barometric pressure combined with the heat of the sun creates an expansion pressure which increase toward the earth's surface


How does air pressure effect the earth?

Air pressure is a atmospheric pressure. Air pressure creates: 1. Different climate 2. Creation of rain 3. Creation of wind 4. It prevents small asteroids to come to the earth

How does polar air create the jet stream?

The tempurate differences creates the jet stream. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of earth's surface and the differences of air pressure. Cold polar air creates low air pressure and a cold surface which creates wind.


What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?

Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.

How does the pressure change as you go toward the center of the earth?

Because, During your journey to the center of Earth, your instruments record an increase in pressure in the surrounding rock.

What causes metamorphic rock to form at plate boundries?

The pressure between earth plates creates metamorphic rock because when applying pressure rocks change to a metamorphic rock.


What results from differences in air pressure?

the difference in air pressure creates unequal heating of the earth.
