Common understanding of the pressure changing effects on the boiling point of liquids is expansion due to vaporization. The absolute effect of the boiling point of liquid is that during the pressure being applied the boiling temperature increases.

Lower atmospheric pressure lowers the boiling point of water. Pasta, for example, takes longer to cook in Denver, Colorado, than the time it takes for that same pasta to cook in New York.

What effect does atmospheric pressure affected have on your body?

the atmospheric pressure has no effect on our bodies in normal conditions this is because our blood is pressurised thereby equalising the force from both directions. this is why astronauts have pressurised space suits to prevent their bodies from bursting in space where the pressure is not being exerted on them.


Why does a bubble grow and move faster as it ascends?

Atmospheric pressure at ground level is higher than at a greater altitude, therefore as the bubble rises the atmospheric pressure on it's surface decreases creating less of a squashing effect on the bubble, making it expand. The impetus for it's upward climb is that the warm air from your lungs is less dense and therefore is forced upwards by the cooler external air. As atmospheric pressure reduces at greater altitude the bubble becomes less dense, accelerating it's upward climb. The reduction in pressure decreases and the bubble continues to expand until it's molecular bonds become strained and the bubble bursts.


Why are you not crushed by atmosperic pressure?

Because your structure has evolved in order to withstand atmospheric pressure. A creature that could not survive atmospheric pressures would not be able to survive, and therefore would not be able to produce offspring. All of the body's tissues contain dissolved air (nitrogen & oxygen) at pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere. In effect the body "pushes back" against atmospheric pressure, just as ocean creatures withstand crushing water pressure by mostly consisting of water.


According to a reduction in pressure of a fluid results from the speed increase as fluids are forced to flow faster through narrow spaces?

Venturi effect


Why will a shower curtain fly toward the shower when the shower is running and hang straight down when it is off?

When you have a hot shower steam is generated and, because it is warmer than the surrounding air, it rises. As the steam flows upwards, cooler air flows in to the lower level of the shower. If the shower is not fully enclosed, the steam will flow out the top of the shower area and the cooler air will flow in near the base of the shower. If the air cannot easily get around the curtain, it will push it inwards as it flows past. Ways to address this are:fully enclosing the shower to keep the steam inweighting the curtain basehaving significant gaps beside the curtain to let air inhanging the curtain so it is held against the shower base lip by its own weight by positioning the rail well outside (>100mm beyond) the line of the base. (This will mean that if the curtain swings outside the shower base it will drip on the floor, so needs a high lip to hold the curtain in.)This effect is caused by a small reduction in the air pressure of the column of air that is inside the shower curtain. The reduction is caused by the pressure of the water being sprayed out of the shower head having to drop from a higher pressure towards normal atmospheric air pressure. This effect is known as the Venturi Effect.The air does not quite reach normal atmospheric pressure until it gets out of the column of air formed by the shower curtain. Because that column of air is at a lower pressure than the air outside the curtain, the curtain gets pressed inwards by the higher (but normal) air pressure in the rest of the room.This effect happens the same no matter if the water temperature is hot, medium or cold.
