Air pressure decreases steadily with increasing altitude. At 100 miles up, there is essentially NO atmosphere.

How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?

The air pressure at the surface of the Earth is much higher (roughly 14.7 pounds per square inch) compared to the air pressure at 7 miles above Earth, which is much lower due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. The pressure decreases with increasing altitude, following the barometric formula.


How many miles thick is the earth's outer core?

What layer of earth is 4000 miles below Earth's surface?

The core.


What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?

Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.


How may miles from the earth's surface to center?

What altitude is the pressure in earth's atmosphere equal to that of mars?

The pressure in Earth's atmosphere is roughly equal to that of Mars at an altitude of about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) above sea level. This means that if you were at this altitude on Earth, you would experience a similar atmospheric pressure to that on the surface of Mars.


Is ozone five miles away from the earth's surface?

No. The ozone layer sits in the Earth's stratosphere, 10 to 50 kilometers or 6 to 31 miles from the Earth's surface.


How close can humans get to the core of the earth?

The closest a person could get is a few miles into the earth, leaving hundreds of thousands of miles between the surface and the core. The crust is about 22miles thick, and as you progress from the surface, heat and pressure increase, thus unprotected a person can only travel so deep across such a length of time before the changes in temp and pressure become dangerous.
