Air pressure in the stratosphere decreases with altitude, starting at about 1,000 hPa (hectopascals) at the boundary with the troposphere and dropping to around 100 hPa at the stratopause, which is approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) above Earth's surface. The stratosphere is characterized by a temperature inversion, where temperature increases with altitude, which affects the behavior of air pressure. Overall, the stratospheric pressure is much lower than that at sea level due to the reduced density of air at higher elevations.

It is different in that the seas don't have air pressure. No air; no air pressure.


How does air pressure affect air movement?

Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.

How air density related to air pressure?

As air pressure pressure decreases with altitude, so does the densite of air.


What does cold air have on air pressure?

How does air pressure move air particles?

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. Differences in air pressure cause air particles to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This movement of air particles creates wind.


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 differental heating affect air pressure?

It affects the air pressure because the more higher level you have the more air pressure and the lower you have the lower the air pressure will be.
