Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?

Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain 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.


Where would air pressure be the highest on a mountain?

At the base of the mountain.


Where would atmospheric pressure be greatest at sea level on a mountaintop at the altitude at which planes fly or at the outer edge of the atmosphere?

At sea level, atmospheric pressure would be greatest because of the weight of the entire column of air above that point. As you move higher up a mountain, atmospheric pressure decreases due to the lower column of air above. However, at the outer edge of the atmosphere, the pressure drops significantly as there is almost no air present in this region.


Would you expect air pressure in death valley to be higher or lower than air pressure at the beach?

Air pressure in Death Valley would be higher than air pressure at the beach because air pressure decreases with increasing elevation. Death Valley is located at a low elevation, while the beach is typically at sea level.


What layer on the mountain would have the most air pressure?

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

which of the following abyssal plain, continental slope and continental shelf has the area that would be under the greatest amount of pressure?


Why is the air pressure lower at the Equator than at the North and South poles?

because sinse the land had a lower elevation, the air is not so heavy,. Does that make sense? Okay, It you were on a mountain the air pressure would be higher than if you were on the beach.

Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?

It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
