The greatest amount of air pressure on a mountain is typically found at the base or lower elevations. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases due to the diminishing density of air molecules. Therefore, the summit of the mountain experiences lower air pressure compared to its base.

Where would the air pressure be the greatest on top of a mountain or above Earth's atmosphere?

Air pressure is greatest at lower altitudes, such as at sea level, because there is more air above pushing down due to gravity. On top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower due to the reduced amount of air above. Similarly, above Earth's atmosphere, air pressure decreases significantly as altitude increases. Therefore, air pressure would be greatest at sea level, not on top of a mountain or above the atmosphere.


Why Does atmospheric pressure decreased as you climb a mountain?

The atmosphere is full of layers and when you are at ground level, you have a maximum amount of air above you, but when you climb the mountain, the amount of air decreases and thus the pressure Hope that was helpful!


Where is air pressure the greatest in the atmosphere?

Air pressure is the amount of force exerted on an object by the atmosphere. It is greatest at sea level.It is greatest in the exosphere, due to the fact that air pressure is greater as the altitude rises; the exosphere is the highest level within the atmosphere.Air pressure is greatest in the areas that are small and enclosed. This is because there is no way to escape.

How does the speed of a fluid affect it's pressure?

in hydrodynamics pressure is inversely proportionate to speed. ie. Resting water has the greatest amount of pressure.


Why does the inner core receive the greatest amount of pressure?

There is pressure within the earth due to the overlying material that the earth is formed from. The deeper within the earth you go, the greater the amount of overlying material pushing down due to gravity and so the greater the pressure. As the inner core has the largest amount of overlying material pushing down upon it, it experiences the greatest pressure.


Which letter represents the area that would be under greatest pressure?

Why is air pressure greatest at earthes surface?

Same reason water pressure is the highest at the bottom of the ocean - the amount of stuff above, pushing down.


You can touch boiling water on the mountain tops why?

Because the atmospheric pressure upon the mountain top alters the amount of kinetic energy (movement of the particles) or in plain English alters the amount of heat the water gives off.

the greatest number of establishments located in California (about 580 in 1997). In general, though, the largest amount of shipments and the greatest number of employees are clustered in the Midwest and eastern seaboard states


Why does the exosphere have the least amount of pressure?

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. Matter is held by gravity. The same reason that pressure is greatest in the core, the least pressure is farthest from the core. Matter "thins - out". The heaviest elements are always in the center and the lightest are furthest from the center.
