What is atmospheric pressure?
Focus on what influences the weather and air's movement.
True or False: Atmospheric pressure is constant at all altitudes.
Think about climbing a mountain.
If a weather balloon rises to an altitude of 5000 meters where the air density is 1.1 kg/m³, calculate the atmospheric pressure there.
Use the specified air density and plug into the formula.
Compare the atmospheric pressure at 100m above sea level versus 1000m. Explain the differences and their effects on weather.
Consider how different altitudes relate to weather patterns.
