The air pressure is highest in areas which are the coolestÊwhich leads to air sinkingÊand creating high pressure at the surface. The opposite is true for areas which are warmest. This causes the air to rise, making pressure at the surface lower.

∙ 13y agoThe air pressure increases as you go up.
Correction: The air pressure decreases as you go up. The shallower the air above you, the less it weighs. The same is true of water.
--> Air pressure is also highest in the polar regions.... highest pressure ever recorded was in Russia (Siberia) of 108.4 KPa as apposed to average of 101.3 due to very cold temperature of -50s.
Added: Air pressure is measurably higher at the level of the Dead Sea... some 1300? ft. below sea level...more air stacked on top of you.

Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
When is air pressure usually highest?
Air pressure is highest when it is cool and dry. It is lowest when it warm and humid. In high pressure, the sky is clear and dry, while in low pressure, the sky is warm and muggy and humid, which is where hurricanes can start.
Where on earth would you expect atmospheric pressure to be highest?
at the surface
What is vertical distribution of air pressure of the earth?
air pressurevaries according to the altitude.this is called vertical distributon of air pressure
What word describes the weight of the air at any particular point on earth?
Atmospheric Pressure or Air Pressure.
What layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
Where is the highest air pressure?
air pressure is the highest near the earths surface
Which location would have the most air molecules per cubic foot?
Probably the shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. Being the lowest place on the earth's dry land, it has the highest air pressure, and therefore the air with the highest density.
Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
In which layer is the pressuer the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
How do air pressure relates to earth?
What in the community relates to air pressure?
Why does earth use air pressure?
Air pressure is basically the weight of air on surfaces.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
How do you make pressure on little alchemy?
Earth + earth or air + air
How do you make pressure little alchemy?
