文档简介
Air Pressure,Can you feel it?,Air Pressure,Air pressure is the measure of the force with which air molecules push on a surface. Air Pressure is GREATEST at the surface of Earth because there is more of the atmosphere above you to push down on you.,As you move UP through the atmosphere, air pressure decreases.,Air Pressure is dependant on DENSITY,More dense air will have a higher air pressure- there are more air molecules in a given space to push down on youLess dense air will have a lower air pressure- there are fewer air molecules to push down on you.,More Dense= more particles to push down on you,Less Dense= fewer particles to push down on you,Air Pressure is affected by 3 factors,1- Elevation, or altitude2- Temperature3- Water content,Impact of Elevation on Air Pressure,As you move up through the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. There are fewer air molecules above you to push down on you, so the force of the air will be less.,Impact of Water Content, or humidity, on Air Pressure,Moist air is less dense than dry air, and therefore has a lower air pressure.A water molecule has less mass than other molecules that make up the air. If you replace some of the air molecules with water molecules, the water lowers the density (and lowers the air pressure),O,N,O,N,H2O,O,H2O,N,Weighs less since H2O is lighter than Nitrogen and Oxygen,Impact of Temperature on Air Pressure,Warm air is less dense than cold air. Therefore, warm air has a lower air pressure and cold air has a higher air pressure.The molecules in warm air are moving fast and are spread farther apart. Therefore there are fewer air molecules in a given area to push down on you.,WarmAir,Cold Air,Barometer,The piece of equipment used to measure air pressure is a Barometer,Aneroid Barometer,Mercury Barometer,Mercury Barometer,Air Pressure Affects the Weather,Air pressure in a weather system reflects the amount of water in the air, which affects the weather.,Low air pressure usually results in Bad weather: stormy, cloudy, overcast.High air pressure usually results in Good weather: clear skies, no precipitat
