Is elevation is a factor that affect air pressure?

Yes, elevation is a factor that affects air pressure. As elevation increases, the air pressure decreases because the weight of the air column above decreases. This is why mountainous regions typically have lower air pressure compared to lower elevations.


What is the measure of how high a place is above sea level called?

The measure of how high a place is above sea level is called elevation.


Which climate condition generally results from an increase in elevation above sea level?

As elevation increases above sea level, temperatures tend to decrease. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to lower atmospheric pressure and reduced air temperature. This change in temperature with elevation is known as the lapse rate.


What is the instrument used to measure the elevation?

The instrument used to measure elevation is called an altimeter. It works by measuring air pressure changes as altitude changes, providing a rough estimate of elevation above sea level.


How does elevation above sea level effect temperature?

The higher the elevation, the colder it gets.


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).


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 use to measure a landform's height above sea level?

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.


What is the distance above sea level that affects temperature wind and soil?

elevation


What is the formula to convert elevation to atmospheric pressure?

The formula to convert elevation to atmospheric pressure is given by the barometric formula: P = P0 * exp(-Mgh / (R*T)), where P is the atmospheric pressure at elevation h, P0 is the atmospheric pressure at sea level, M is the molar mass of air, g is the acceleration due to gravity, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
