Alarms go off when there is high pressure because high pressure often leads to suffocation of even explosions.

Why do we experience pain in our ears as you go up in a high place?

The pain in our ears due to elevation change is caused by unequal pressure inside our bodies and the air pressure outside. As you go higher in elevation air pressure drops, so the pressure inside our bodies is higher that the outside environment. This high pressure inside our bodies causes pain as our bodies seek to regain equal air pressure with that of the environment by releasing air out of our ears; that is also why many people experience popping ears as they undergo dramatic elevation changes.


What direction does the wind move if there is a high pressure system?

The coriolis effect causes wind to move in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere if there is a high pressure system, and counterclockwise around high pressure in the southern hemisphere. The coriolis effect is caused by the spinning of the earth. Points near the equator actually move faster than those near the poles, because they have farther to go for a complete rotation.


Why can't a submarine go to the bottom of the ocean?

A submarine cannot go to the bottom of the ocean because the pressure at such depths is too high for the submarine's structure to withstand, risking damage or collapse.


Why does a fountain pen leak at high altitude?

I don't know this as a fact, but this makes sense to me: Fountain pens work on a capillary action system, with only tiny amounts of force applied to the ink to make it go down to the nib. When you go up to a high altitude, suddenly pressure decreases, and the pressure in the pen relative to the outside becomes much higher. Seeking to equalize pressure, the ink starts coming out faster.


Is there more pressure the higher you go?

Yes, there is typically more pressure the higher you go in terms of altitude or hierarchy.
