When the temperature begins to drop, molecules in the air start to condense and become less excited. Condensed molecules create more pressure than the excited molecules in warm air. This causes the air pressure to be higher on really cold days.

Where in the water column would you expect to find the the following conditions the highest pressure readings the densest waters or the warmest temperatures?

The highest pressure readings would be found at the bottom of the water column due to the weight of the overlying water. The densest waters would also be found at deeper levels where cold temperatures and high pressure compress seawater. The warmest temperatures are typically found near the surface of the water column where sunlight can penetrate and warm the water.

Is hot water pressure and cold water pressure equal in pressure?

Pressure is the same whether hot or cold.


Would you expect higher atmospheric pressure in a hot day or cold day explanation?

On a cold day, you would generally expect higher atmospheric pressure compared to a hot day. Cold air is denser and tends to sink, leading to higher pressure at the surface. In contrast, warm air is less dense and rises, creating lower pressure. Therefore, colder conditions typically correlate with higher atmospheric pressure.


What does cold air have on air pressure?

Would it be hot or cold if a barometer was dropping?

A barometer does not measure temperature it measures pressure.


2001 Ranger XLT the oil pressure gauge sticks at zero when it is cold. When the engine warms up the gauge works fine How do you fix this?

I would start by replacing the oil pressure sending unit. If that does not correct the problem, I would look closely at the gage itself. If you hear any valve train noise at cold startup, you need to have an oil pressure test run to make sure you actually have good oil pressure when starting the engine cold. Possibly the gage is correct and you do have 0 oil pressure when cold.

Why would cold water pressure fade in and out throughout a house?

poor water pressure from your city. Or if you are on a well, the pump might be going bad.


Does cold air have high or low pressure?

Cold air has a high pressure because it is heavier than warm air.
