air pressure on the high mountain is because air flow is fast or velocity of air is more on the high mountain

Where will be the water boils faster at the location of the mountain?

At the high point where there is less pressure.


Why fog is observed more often in high places than in lowland?

Fog is more commonly observed in high places due to cooler temperatures and lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations. These conditions are more favorable for the formation of condensation and saturation of air, leading to fog. In lowland areas, warmer temperatures and higher pressure levels make it less likely for fog to form.


Why does water boil at a low temperature on a high mountain compared too at sea level?

Because there is less air pressure.


What happens to atmospheric pressure as you climb a mountain?

Atmospheric pressure decreases as you climb a mountain because there is less air above pushing down on you. This decrease in pressure can cause symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue at high altitudes.


Where is air pressure the least?

Air pressure is typically the least at high altitudes, such as at the peak of a mountain or in the upper atmosphere. This is because there is less air above exerting pressure downwards.


Why is high air pressure near earths surface?

Because there is more air (which has weight) above you if you are around sea level. If you fly up, or climb a mountain, there is less air above you, therefore less air pressure.


Air pressure decreases as?

Air pressure decreases as height is gained. There is less air pressure at the top of a high mountain, than at sea level.


What does the buoyant force exerted on you by the atmosphere if you were to climb a high mountain?

The buoyant force exerted on a person by the atmosphere decreases as they climb a high mountain due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. This decrease in pressure results in less force being exerted against the person's body.


When you are on top of a mountain is the air pressure higher dou to the cold temperature of lower due to the high altitude?

Higher than what? As you go up a mountain the air pressure gets lower simply because there is less air above you weighing down on you.


Why is there less air pressure on top of a mountain?

There is less air pressure on top of a mountain because the weight of the air above is less due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. This causes the air molecules to be more spread out, resulting in lower pressure.


What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?

From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.


How is air in high mountains different from air at sea level?

Air in high mountains is thinner because there is less atmospheric pressure as you go higher in elevation compared to air at sea level. The lower pressure at high altitudes makes it harder to breathe and can lead to altitude sickness if not acclimated. Additionally, there may be lower humidity levels in high mountain air compared to air at sea level.
