Lift occurs in an aircraft wing because the wind speeds up as it goes over the top of it. The wind is traveling at relatively the same speed over the bottom. The faster air that travels over the top causes the wing to have lift because the air pressure is lower over the top therefore the wing 'rises' in a way. Hope this helps :)

Is pressure a contact force?

Yes, pressure is a contact force that occurs when an object comes into contact with a surface. It is the force applied perpendicular to the surface per unit area.


Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?

That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.

What gases are found in the atmosphere what gases are found in the troposphere?

About 90% of the atmospheric mass is in the troposphere. You can tell because 90% of the pressure increase occurs in the troposphere. Pressure goes from zero in space to 100 mb at the tropopause to 1000 mb at the surface.

Which type of weathering occurs due to release of pressure?

The type of weathering that occurs due to the release of pressure is called exfoliation weathering. This process involves the outer layers of rocks peeling away in sheets due to the reduction of pressure on the rock surface.

What is the pressure in a vacuum?

There is no pressure in a vacuum, a vacuum is the absence of anything, there is nothing there to push. Air from a pressurized space that becomes open to a vacuum may push you into the vacuum, but the vacuum itself does nothing as it is literally nothing.
