In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
What is the formula to convert elevation to atmospheric pressure?
(7) where P atmospheric pressure [kPa], z elevation above sea level [m], Source: FAO meterological handbook.
What is elevation and air pressure?
Altitude is a measurement of an objects distance above another body. Air Pressure Is a measurement of the flux potential accumulated at any given point of a wave-partical plane over a given time.
Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?
The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.
What is atmospheric pressure of oxygen at an elevation of 20000 ft above sea level?
The atmosperic pressure would be about 370 millibar
What is elevation above sea level?
Pressure
How does elevation above sea level effect temperature?
The higher the elevation, the colder it gets.
The temperature of th earth's atmosphere drops about 5 degree centigrate for every 1000m elevation above the earths surfaceif the air temperature at the ground level is 15degc and presure is 760mm o?
The temperature of th earth's atmosphere drops about 5 degree centigrate for every 1000m elevation above the earths surfaceif the air temperature at the ground level is 15degc and presure is 760mm of hg.at what elevation the pressure is 380 mm of hg.assume that airbehaves like an ideal gas?

What is use to measure a landform's height above sea level?
Elevation
What is the measure of how high a place is above sea level called?
Elevation.
As elevation rises temperature does what?
In the troposphere, the temperature drops. In the stratosphere (layer above the troposphere) it increases with elevation. In the mesosphere, temperature drops again with elevation. In the theromosphere, it goes up again (to nearly stellar surface temperatures).
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is the distance above sea level that affects temperature wind and soil?
elevation
