The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
What generally happens to atmospheric pressure on a windy day?
On a windy day atmospheric pressure decreases because the higher the wind velocity, the lower the air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This is how chimneys work, the air that moves above the chimney causes low air pressure because of the high wind velocity compared the velocity of the air inside a house. The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?
The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air on top of us. At the top of mount Everest, there is less air above the exhausted climber (because a lot of the air is below). Less air, less weight, less pressure.
What word describes the weight of the air at any particular point on earth?
Atmospheric Pressure or Air Pressure.
What are synonyms of the word air pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is another name for air pressure. This is because the atmosphere is pretty much the same as air.

Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?

The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
When was air pressure introduced?
It was never introduced, because it was always there. Air pressure is all around you. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of earth's atmosphere.
When cold air moves into an area the atmospheric pressure is?
When cold air moves into an area, the atmospheric pressure is high because cold air is denser than warm air. When a cold front moves through an area, the pressure always rises.
Why does Mars have low atmospheric pressure?
Mars has a low atmospheric pressure reading because there is a lighter atmosphere, which means less air, which means less weight or pressure.
How does pressure affect the air?
Atmospheric pressure systems are made of air.
What is atomshpheric pressure.?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air.
Is the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth?
Air pressure
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?
The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air on top of us. At the top of mount Everest, there is less air above the exhausted climber (because a lot of the air is below). Less air, less weight, less pressure.
Is air pressure part of the weather?
Yes, because meteorologists use a barometer which measures atmospheric air pressure and a barometer is a weather instrument so air pressure is part of the weather
