The force of air pushing down?
You might have expected the result to be pressure, but it's not. Pressure occurs due to the bombardment of air molecules on a surface. The weight of a column of air causes so little pressure that it can be considered negligible.
Why doesnt air pressure crush objects?
There is air pressure on all sides, inside or outside. The air pressure pushes on the object all ways and nothing falls. If you only apply pressure on the bottom then the object will lift. If you apply pressure on the top, the object will collapse. If air pressure is pushing side ways, the object will move sideways.
The measure of the force with which air molecules are pushing on the Earth's surface?
This force is called atmospheric pressure, the force is measured per unit area because the bigger the area the more molecules hit. It is 14.7 pounds per square inch ("psi")
Weight of air pressing down?
Air pressure.
What is the name of the air pressing down on us?
Air pressure
What is a low-pressure system and what is a high-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between a high-pressure system and A low pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
What is the difference between high-pressure system and a low-pressure system?
The difference is that Low air pressure has less air molecules pushing down in one area and high air pressure has more air molecules pushing down in one area.
Air pressure is greatest because there are more molecules of air pushing down from above?
Air pressure is greatest at sea level.
What is the weight of air pushing down?
the answer is air pressure
What does high air pressure?
air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you and high pressure is air that rises.
Where air pushing down with less pressure it is three words?
lower air pressure
What is the weight of the air pushing down on the earth?
It is called air pressure
Great masses of air molecules pushing down from adove?
It is AIR PRESSURE!!
What is a force that results from a coloumn of air pushing down?
atmospheric pressure
Make a sentence with the word air pressure?
A force that is the result of the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area, that is air pressure.
Compare the air pressure at sea level with the air pressure on top of a mountain why are the two pressures different?
Air pressure can be modeled as column in that the lower the column regards the more of it pressing down upon you. Therefore, someone standing at sea level has a more air pressure pushing down on them then someone at high altitude (as in a mountain).
