Yes, pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a point on the Earth's surface. This pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decreasing weight of the air column above.

Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?

the earths surface.


Where is air pressure exerted and how does it change as you move up through earths atmosphere?

Air pressure is exerted in all directions throughout Earth's atmosphere, but it is stronger closer to the surface due to the weight of the air above pushing down. As you move up through the atmosphere, air pressure decreases because there is less air above exerting force downward. This is why air pressure is lower at higher altitudes.


Dose air in the atmosphere exert pressure on earths surface?

Yes. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure caused by air when it exerts pressure on the surface of earth.


What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?

Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.


Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?

Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air


Earths atmosphere exerts a force of 124500 N on a kitchen table with an area of 1.5 m what is the pressure in pascals?

The pressure can be calculated by dividing the force exerted (124500 N) by the area of the table (1.5 m^2). Therefore, the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on the kitchen table is 83000 Pa (Pascals).


Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?

The atmosphere exerts pressure on all objects and surfaces within it, including buildings, people, and the Earth's surface. This pressure is a result of the weight of air molecules above pressing down on objects below.
