It is pressed by the bottom of the earths crust and pressured up to the top of the mountain and the mountain begins to break. It takes about 500 years to break.

How does the water pressure change at each level in a jug?

In a jug, the water pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above exerting force. The pressure at the bottom of the jug is higher than at the top. This pressure difference is the reason why water squirts out with more force from a spout at the bottom than at the top.


What kind of rock is forms when heat and pressure of mountain building change sedimentary rock?

The sedimentary rock gets transformed into metamorphic rock under the heat and pressure of mountain-building processes. Examples of metamorphic rocks formed from sedimentary rocks include marble from limestone and schist from shale.


How does pressure change the state of a substance?

For example, at a certain temperature a material is a solid - the atoms or molecules hold tight together. If the temperature is increased, the atoms or molecules move faster, and can eventually have enough energy to rip apart. In this case, the substance will change from solid to liquid (or directly to a gas, depending on the circumstances).With respect to pressure: basically, a high pressure changes the distance between the atoms or molecules; this, in turn, affects the forces between them.


What happens to pressure as altitude increased?

As altitude increases (i.e. when you get higher) pressure falls off inversely; a change near the higher reaches will not have as much of a pressure differential as the same distance change lower down.


What does it mean if distances between high and low pressure zones are short?

Short distances between high and low pressure zones indicate a steeper pressure gradient. This means that there is a more rapid change in pressure over a short distance, leading to stronger winds and potentially more extreme weather conditions.

How would air pressure change as it drive up and then down a Mountain Road?

Air pressure decreases with height.

How would air pressure change as you drive up and then down a mountain?

As you drive up a mountain, air pressure decreases because atmospheric pressure decreases with higher altitude. As you drive down the mountain, air pressure increases because the weight of the air above you increases as you descend to lower altitudes.


Which describes the atmospheric pressure as a student climbs up a mountain range?

As a student climbs up a mountain range, atmospheric pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above them exerting pressure as they gain elevation. The change in pressure can lead to discomfort and even altitude sickness if the ascent is too rapid.


Why does the temperature change when you go up an mountain?

The temperature changes as you go up a mountain due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This drop in pressure causes the air to expand and cool, resulting in colder temperatures at higher elevations.

Normal blood pressure for a 3 year old?

The normal blood pressure for a boy who is 6 years old is a top number between 109 and 117 and a bottom number between 72 and 76. For a 6 year old girl the top number should be between 108 and 114 and a bottom number between 71 and 75.


How and why does the air pressure change as you climb up a mountain?

As you climb up a mountain, the air pressure decreases because there is less air above pushing down on the air below. At higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is lower because the column of air above is shorter. This change in pressure can lead to thinner air, making it harder to breathe and resulting in decreased oxygen levels.


What is a pressure gradient and how is it related to air movement?

Pressure gradient is the rate of pressure change as you change position, not just the difference between the lowest pressure and the highest pressure, but how great (or small) the physical distance between them. Since it the pressure difference that make air flow (wind) the greater the pressure gradient, the greater the wind.
