The pressure at sea level is around 1013 millibars. As you go to higher altitudes, the pressure decreases because there is less air above pushing down. This means that the pressure at higher altitudes is lower than at sea level.

How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?

the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)


Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?

The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.


What has a higher vapor pressure water at sea level or the mountains?

water at sea level has higher vapor pressure


Why is it easier to breathe at sea level than at higher altitudes?

At sea level, the air pressure is higher, which means there is more oxygen available for breathing. At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases, making it harder for the body to take in enough oxygen, leading to difficulty in breathing.


When the air pressure in the lungs is greater than the air pressure outside the body you?

at higher altitudes the pressure of air is greater in our lungs as compare to the air pressure outside the body


What can change the boiling point of water?

The boiling point of water can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower. Conversely, at lower altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is higher.


Why waters boils at lower temperature on the top mountain when at sea level in boils at 100 degrees?

Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower at higher altitudes. This lower pressure decreases the boiling point of water. At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is greater, causing water to boil at 100 degrees Celsius.


As you go to higher elevations above sea level the boiling point of water?

as you go higher above sea level, pressure decreases. Due to the decrease in pressure, the temperature needed for water to boil is less than it is than it would be at sea level. Thus, it would take less heat energy for the bonds to break and become a gas than it would in an environment with more pressure.


Why is air pressure greater at a low altitude such as sea level than at a high altitude such as at the top of a mountain?

Air molecules are pushed closer together at sea level because the column of air pushing down is higher, and will tend be even higher at locations below sea level.Although there are constant variations in air pressure due to weather, lower altitudes will generally have a higher pressure than higher altitudes.


Why does water boil faster at high altitude than at sea level?

Water boils at a lower temperature at high altitudes due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, which reduces the boiling point of water. This lower boiling point causes water to boil faster compared to sea level where the atmospheric pressure is higher.


Does the sea have more air pressure than the mountain?

The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.


How does the pressure at sea level change as the distance from earth increases?

As you move away from Earth's surface, the pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure is due to the decreasing mass of the atmosphere at higher altitudes. At sea level, the pressure is highest because of the weight of the air above pressing down.
