The earth is slightly flattened at the poles. This has the effect of lowering the surface and raising the weight of air above.

Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?

The atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the air on top of us. At the top of mount Everest, there is less air above the exhausted climber (because a lot of the air is below). Less air, less weight, less pressure.


Does rain usually occur in high atmospheric pressure or low atmospheric pressure?

Rain typically occurs in low atmospheric pressure systems where air rises, cools, and condenses to form clouds and precipitation. High atmospheric pressure systems typically bring stable and clear weather conditions with less likelihood of rain.


Can mean effective pressure less than atmospheric pressure?

no Because any body subject is affected by the atmospheric pressure in the case of its occurrence under the pressure of what it means that the pressure for increased atmospheric pressure.


Why does atmospheric pressure increase with height?

Atmospheric pressure decreases with height due to the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. As you move higher in the atmosphere, the air becomes less dense because there is less weight of air above it, leading to a decrease in pressure.


Does temperature change atmospheric pressure?

Yes, the hotter it is the more pressure, and therefore the colder the less pressure. Ther you go :)
