What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What is the difference between atmosphere pressure and water pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a given point, while water pressure is the force exerted by water on an object or surface due to the depth of the water. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while water pressure increases with depth.
Is atmospheric pressure larger with a bigger area?
The greater the area, the lower the pressure. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure. I am assuming by area you mean volume. According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRT, pressure and volume are inversely related. As the volume increases, the pressure will decrease and vice versa.
What is the cause of liquid pressure?
Liquid pressure is caused by the weight of the liquid above pressing down on a specific point. The pressure increases with depth due to the increasing weight of the liquid column. This pressure is transmitted equally in all directions.
Is barometric pressure the same as atmospheric pressure?
Yes, barometric pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure. Both terms refer to the pressure exerted by the weight of the air in the Earth's atmosphere.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What will happen to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude increases?
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
As depth increases water pressure increases?
Yes the deeper you go the higher the pressure, it's because the weight of more things, like land, water, buildings, cars , people are combined. Where as you were in the streets you have atmospheric weight on you.
Why does the height of the column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?
As the atmospheric pressure changes, the force pushing on the surface of the liquid changes. Therefore,the height of the liquid in the tube increases as the atmospheric pressure increases.
How are atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air in the atmosphere, while water pressure is the force exerted by the weight of water in a body of water. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while water pressure increases with depth. Atmospheric pressure is measured in units like atm or pascals, while water pressure is typically measured in units like pounds per square inch (psi) or pascals.
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
Where on earth is atmospheric pressure greatest?
The atmospheric pressure is greatest at sea level, which is at the Earth's surface. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
Does atmospheric pressure decrease the deeper you go in the atmosphere?
Yes, atmospheric pressure decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere. This is because the weight of the air above decreases with altitude. Additionally, at higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules exerting pressure.
What is atomshpheric pressure.?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air.
Does pressure increase as you are increasing altitude?
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
What is the difference between atmosphere pressure and water pressure?
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a given point, while water pressure is the force exerted by water on an object or surface due to the depth of the water. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while water pressure increases with depth.
When atmospheric pressure increases what happpens to the boiling temperature of a liquid?
The boiling temperature of a liquid increases as the gas pressure a the liquid's surface increases.
