To fully answer this, we would need to know if we are talking about a contained pressure (like in a tire) or atmospheric pressure. If a tire is filled with a specific pressure at room temperature, the pressure would increase as the temperature increased. Likewise, if the temperature was cooler, the pressure in the tire would decrease. As for atmospheric pressure, we may have to limit this question to an example since the air around us is always moving. If we could make a 1 square inch (at the end) tube that stretched from the surface of the Earth to outside of the atmosphere, we would have 14.5 pounds of air at sea level. If this air was heated and did not flow out of the tube, it would weight the same, just take up more space.

What can effect air pressure and why?

Several factors can affect air pressure, including altitude, temperature, and humidity. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases due to the thinner air at higher altitudes. Temperature can also affect air pressure, with warm air typically having lower pressure than cold air. Humidity can impact air pressure by altering the density of the air.


Why does cold polar air flow toward the equator?

Cold polar air flows toward the equator due to the difference in temperature and pressure between the polar regions and the equator. Air moves from high pressure to low pressure areas, and the temperature gradient drives the movement of cold air toward warmer regions.


When air expands its pressure and temperature?

When air expands, its pressure decreases while its temperature decreases simultaneously. This is due to the decrease in density as the air molecules move further apart, resulting in lower pressure. The decrease in pressure causes the air to do work on its surroundings, leading to a drop in temperature through the expansion cooling effect.


Does air travel from warm to cold or from cold to warm?

Air tends to travel from regions of high pressure to low pressure, so it can move from warm areas to cold areas or vice versa depending on the pressure systems in place. Additionally, air temperature differences can create wind patterns that influence the direction of air movement.


What happens to air pressure when the temperature changes?

When temperature increases, air molecules gain energy and move faster, leading to increased pressure as they collide more frequently with surfaces. Conversely, when temperature decreases, air molecules slow down and collide less frequently, resulting in lower air pressure.

How do cold temperature affect air pressure?

Cold temperature can decrease air pressure because cold air is denser than warm air, causing the air molecules to be packed more closely together. As a result, the air pressure decreases as the density of the air increases.


Which of these have an effect on air pressure?

Temperature, altitude, and humidity all have an effect on air pressure. As temperature increases, air pressure decreases, while air pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Humidity can also affect air pressure by directly influencing the density of the air.

What effect does cold air have on air pressure?

Cold air is denser than warm air, so it exerts a higher pressure. When cold air moves into an area, it can increase the air pressure in that location. Conversely, when warm air moves into an area, it can decrease the air pressure.


How does the cold effect air pressure in a ball?

Cold temperature causes the air within a ball to contract, leading to a decrease in air pressure. This reduction in pressure can make the ball feel less inflated and less bouncy. It is important to monitor and adjust the air pressure in balls when exposed to cold temperatures to maintain optimal performance.


Name three things that effect air pressure?

temperature, water vapor, and elevation.


Why should you check your tires when the temperature changes?

temperature affects air pressure when it is cold air pressure decreases when it gets warm air pressures rises


What causes air to move along earth's surface?

Air moves along the Earth's surface due to a combination of pressure differences, temperature variations, and the Coriolis effect. Pressure differences create air movement from areas of high pressure to low pressure. Temperature variations can cause differences in air density, leading to air movement. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects moving air masses to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, influencing wind direction.


What has a bigger effect on wind speed temperature or air pressure?

The bigger affect on wind speed is air pressure.


How did pressure effects the sound when temperature is constant?

The atmospheric pressure has no effect on the speed of sound when the temperature is constant. The air pressure has no influence on the sound.


Does temperature have an effect on air pressure?

actually it does. The lower the temp. the lower the air pressure so high temp cause high pressure.


How does mountains and water effect air pressure and temperature?

more mountains + more air equals more pressure.... its like sitting on a bag of air
