Question

1.Where is there more atmospheric pressure, in New Orleans, at sea level, or Mt. Everest? Why? a. New Orleans, because pressure increases as you get deeper in the atmosphere and closer to the center of Earth b. c. d. Mt. Everest, because pressure increases as altitude increases New Orleans, because there is less air near Earth's surface Mt. Everest, because pressure decreases as altitude increases

Answer 1

a. New Orleans, because pressure increases as you get deeper in the atmosphere and closer to the center of Earth

Explanation:

• Low altitudes: There is more atmospheric pressure in comparison with higher altitudes. When closer to the Earth core, the more pressure and temperature there is.

• High Altitudes: As high increases, atmospheric pressure, and temperature, decreases, leading to a lower oxygen partial pressure in the environment.

At sea level, the atmosphere pressures the earth's surface with approximately 1-kilogram per square centimeter strength. This means that at sea level, there is one ton of air making pressure over us. But this air pressure decreases with altitude.

At high level there is less air making pressure from above, and there is less gravity acting. Molecules are more separate from each other, and the density decreases.
