'Standard' atmospheric pressure is 14 pounds per square inch - or.. one 'bar'.
Exerting pressure is the act of applying force or weight on an object or surface. This pressure can cause a change in the state or shape of the object. Examples of exerting pressure include pushing, squeezing, or compressing an object.

The atmosphere exerts a pressure of about 10,000 kg/m^2 at sea level. This pressure is equivalent to the weight of the air above a unit area, so the mass of the atmosphere per square meter can be approximated as 10,000 kg.
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot
When water boils in a closed container, it exerts vapor pressure that is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the liquid. This pressure can vary depending on the altitude but typically is around 101.3 kPa at sea level.
Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.
The atmosphere exerts pressure on various objects on the earth's surface. Air pressure is generally caused by the collision of the gas molecules with one another.

The atmosphere exerts pressure on all objects and surfaces within it, including buildings, people, and the Earth's surface. This pressure is a result of the weight of air molecules above pressing down on objects below.
downwards
The atmosphere exerts pressure because of the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. This pressure is caused by the force of gravity acting on the mass of the air molecules in the atmosphere.
The force that air exerts on the surface of the Earth is called atmospheric pressure. It is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the surface.
Pressure
The pressure on your hand is balanced by the opposing forces acting on it. When you press your hand against a surface, the surface exerts an equal and opposite force back on your hand, balancing the pressure. This balance of forces prevents your hand from moving further into the surface or being pushed away.
Yes, the atmosphere exerts pressure on us due to the weight of the air above us. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure and can be felt as we move higher or lower in elevation.
That's the definition of the 'pressure' which the force exerts on the surface.
The weight of the air in the atmosphere exerts pressure known as atmospheric pressure. On average, this pressure at sea level is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) or 101.3 kilopascals.
