On top of a mountain
What else can I help you with?
Why is air pressure on the top of a mountain strongest?
Actually, air pressure is strongest at lower altitudes, not at the top of a mountain. As you ascend a mountain, the amount of air above you decreases, leading to lower air pressure. This is because the weight of the air column above decreases with elevation, resulting in thinner air and reduced pressure at higher altitudes.
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest when?
Winds associated with a cold front are strongest just before the front passes through an area. This is due to the sharp temperature contrast between the cold air behind the front and the warmer air ahead of it, creating a steep pressure gradient that leads to strong winds.
Is air pressure another name for barometric pressure?
In short, yes. The commonly-reported "pressure" talked about by meteorologists has been extrapolated down to sea level to eliminate pressure differences caused by altitude (air pressure drops much more quickly with height than it does between even the strongest high and low pressure systems). Air pressure sometimes refers to the pressure observed at a location and not adjusted down to sea level, whereas barometric pressure almost always refers to a sea-level pressure. But maybe this is too much information. A better answer would be "yes."
What uses air pressure to work?
air
What is air moves from a point at which air pressure?
high pressure to low pressure

Why does air pressure decrease as altitude increase?
The atmoshere is held around the earth by gravity. Gravitypulls gas molecules in the atmosphere towards the earth'ssurface causing air pressure. air pressure is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface. Air pressure is at the strongest at the earths surface because more air is above you. So, altitude (the distance from sea level) increses, air pressure decreses. think of air pressure as a human pyrimid,the people at the bottom of the pyramid can feel all the weight and pressure of the people on top. air pressure works in a similar way.
Why is air pressure strongest at Earth's surface?
Air, like water, finds its own level, so high up theres less of a column of air (and therefore less weight) above your head, resulting in lower pressure

What countries have the strongest Air Forces in the world?
The United States of America, Russia, and China probably have the strongest Air Forces.

What is the strongest air pistol?
The question can't be answered unless you define what "strongest" means to you.

How is earths air pressure different from seas air pressure?
It is different in that the seas don't have air pressure. No air; no air pressure.
Why might you open the windows in your house if you saw a tornado coming?
To allow the air pressure inside the house to equalize with the air pressure outside in hopes of reducing damage. However, this has been disproven. The pressure drop in event the strongest of tornadoes is not enough to cause significant damage, and even then then the winds of such a tornado would destroy a house before it reached the center where the pressure is lowest.
What is the weakest pressure point that is unisex?
There is a nerve in the arm. That is the strongest pressure point for Females and Males
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.
