i think a valley does because when you climb a mountain the air pressure decreases the higher you go.

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.
How does the shape of the glaciated mountain valley differ from the mountain valley?
Glaciated valleys are U-shaped, non-glaciated valleys are V-shaped.
Can water be made to boil at 95 or 105C?
Yes. The temperature can be reduced by lowering the "atmospheric" pressure: for example by going up a mountain. The boiling point can be raised by increasing the pressure - in a pressure cooker, for example, or by dissolving a solute such as salt.
Does air pressure increase as you climb from land at sea level to the top of a mountain?
the air pressure decreases as you climb a mountain. it would be harder to breathe
Where would you expect the air pressure to be greatest in a valley?
At the bottom of the valley!
Which would have more air pressure on a mountain or in a valley and why?
A mountain because the higher in air you go the more higher air pressure gets. this is not part of the anwser but, G-force is pressure on arollar coaster when u get higher.
Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?
Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
Would the air pressure in a valley be higher or lower than at sea level?
This depends on the altitude of this valley; generally is higher.
What is the difference between a valley and a mountain fold?
valley fold is folded at a crease in wich the outer edges are higher than the middle. mountain the opposite.
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.
A mountain 100 feet below sea level is near a valley 700 feet below sea level How many feet higher is the mountain then the valley?
600 feet if the mountain is already below sea level and so is the valley then just subtract the difference
Is Moon Valley classified as a mountain?
Not its a valley not a mountain
Why does it get colder the higher you go to the mountain?
It gets colder the higher you climb a mountain because of the lower air pressure.
Is a mountain or a valley bigger?
Depends. On what type of mountain or valley is it.
Mountain is to valley as mound is to?
Mountain is to valley as mound is to ditch
Is Tulare a mountain valley or desert?
Tulare is in a mountain valley.
If you are on top of a mountain is the air pressure higher because of the cold temperature or lower because you are higher up?
lower because you are higher up
