To measure pressure above atmospheric pressure you would use a?
mercury manometer
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the point... at sea level there is more air above the point then there would be at 10,000ft
Why is atmospheric pressure greater at sea level than at the top of a mountain 5000 m above sea level?
Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude because the weight of the air above decreases as you move higher up in the atmosphere. At sea level, there is more air above you pressing down, resulting in a higher atmospheric pressure compared to the top of a mountain 5000m above sea level where there is less air above pressing down.
Does the atmospheric pressure increase or decrease as you move upward away from sea level?
Atmospheric pressure decreases as you move upward away from sea level due to the decrease in the weight of the air above pushing down. This means that atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes and higher at lower altitudes, such as at sea level.
What area of science would include the study of the barometric pressure of the atmosphere above Florida?
The study of the barometric pressure of the atmosphere above Florida would fall under the field of meteorology, specifically within atmospheric science. Meteorologists use atmospheric pressure measurements to understand and predict weather patterns and changes in the atmosphere.
