What else can I help you with?
What state of matter surrounds us all?
Gas. The Earth's atmosphere is composed of gases that make up the air we breathe.
Why do we not feel the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on us?
We do not feel the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on us because our bodies are used to the constant pressure from the air around us. Our internal pressure matches the external pressure, so we don't perceive it as a sensation of weight.
How much air pressure is exerted on us?
The average air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi), or 101.3 kilopascals. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air in the Earth's atmosphere above us. It decreases as altitude increases.
Does humid air rise or sink in the atmosphere?
Humid air rises in the atmosphere because it is less dense than dry air.
What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
Why does the atmosphere's air press on the earth?
Air weight.
What is air pruessure?
The weight of air above us in the atmosphere
Using examples discuss how the atmosphere affects or influence mankind?
Atmosphere acts as a blanket of air above us. It protects us and give us the air to breathe.
All of the air around us makes up what earth sphere?
The atmosphere surrounds Earth and is made up of all the air around us.
Why does air in the atmosphere pressure down on us?
It is the pull of gravity on the column of air over you.
Why does the air pressure change the altitude in the atmosphere?
As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
How does the amount of air changes as you travel up through earth's atmosphere?
The amount of air decreases as you travel up through Earth's atmosphere. This is because the atmosphere is less dense at higher altitudes, leading to lower air pressure and a decrease in the concentration of gases.
What is significance of air?
Our atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation and also gives us the oxygen we need to breathe.
Is air part of the atmosphere?
Air is the atmosphere.
What protects the earth from meteoroid and Sun's radiation?
The atmosphere protects us. It is a blanket of air.
How the amount of air changes as you travel up through earths atmosphere?
The air molecules spreds out in space so there is not enough air to breathe for us there
Does the atmosphere exert pressure on us?
Yes, the atmosphere exerts pressure on us due to the weight of the air above us. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure and can be felt as we move higher or lower in elevation.
