It would be greatest where the atmosphere above you was thickest. Given this information you can work it out.
which of the following abyssal plain, continental slope and continental shelf has the area that would be under the greatest amount of pressure?
The top.
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.
In a diagram depicting air pressure, the air pressure is typically greatest at the bottom of the diagram. This is because air pressure increases with depth in the atmosphere due to the weight of the air above compressing the air below. Consequently, areas at lower altitudes or depths will exhibit higher air pressure compared to those at higher altitudes.
No. Just die. Its pressure is less than the top of our highest mountain.
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
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.
At the base of the mountain.
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.
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.
The top.
which of the following abyssal plain, continental slope and continental shelf has the area that would be under the greatest amount of pressure?
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.
It would be 1.0 ATM because it is at sea level.
Lowered Pressure
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.
Air pressure decreases with height.
