What else can I help you with?
Is the inner core under extreme pressure?
Yes, the inner core of the Earth is under extreme pressure due to the weight of the Earth's layers above it. This pressure is what helps maintain the solid state of the inner core despite its high temperatures.
Where the air pressure is lower and less of the atmosphere is above you?
At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower because there is less atmosphere above pushing down on you. This can lead to symptoms of altitude sickness, such as dizziness and shortness of breath, because your body has to adjust to the decrease in oxygen levels.
Earth's core is under great pressure due to?
the tremendous weight of the layers of rock and metal lying above it. The high temperatures and extreme pressure conditions within the core are caused by the gravitational forces acting on the mass of the Earth.
What is the water pressure in the hadal?
The water pressure in the hadal zone, which is the deepest part of the ocean, can reach extreme levels of over 1,000 times atmospheric pressure at the surface. This is due to the weight of the water column above.
Would the pressure be greater at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of it?
At the bottom. You can think of the air pressure at a given location as being the weight of all the air in a column above it. Thus, the higher you go, the less air there is above you, and thus the lower the air pressure. In the extreme, when you rise out of the athmosphere, there is no air above you at all, and the air pressure is effectively zero - a vacuum. Air pressure is greater at the bottom of a mountain.
How does pressure change as you go from the surface of the earth towards the center of the earth?
Pressure increases as you go towards the center of the Earth due to the weight of the Earth's layers above pushing down. At the Earth's core, pressure can reach extreme levels due to the immense mass of the overlying material.
What is the water pressure five miles deep?
Water pressure at a depth of five miles (roughly 26,400 feet) in the ocean would be around 589 atmospheres, which is equivalent to 583 times the pressure at the surface. This extreme pressure is due to the weight of the water above that depth.
Will anyone answer you what is the force that air exerts on a given area?
The force that air exerts on a given area is called air pressure. Air pressure is the result of the weight of the air above the given area pressing down on it. This pressure can vary depending on altitude, weather conditions, and temperature.
The pressure above a liquid in a sealed container is?
equal to the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the weight of the liquid above the point of interest.
When intrapulmonary pressure is above atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
When intrapulmonary pressure is above atmospheric pressure, air will move out of the lungs due to the pressure gradient, allowing for expiration. This is known as exhalation.
Explain why the inner core remains a solid even though it is very hot?
The immense pressure at the Earth's core, from the weight of all the layers above it, prevents the inner core from melting despite its extreme heat. The melting temperature of materials increases with pressure, allowing the inner core to remain solid under the high pressure conditions.
Why does pressure drop as you travel upward from earth surface?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere above an object. When one goes higher, there is less air above and so the pressure drops.
