Document Summary
Valley because of the greater amount of overlying air (the distribution of air molecules is mostly found in the valley area) Ideal gas law used to determine atmospheric pressure: p= rt, p = pressure (pa, = air density (kg/m3, r = 287 (j/kg x k, t = k, there is a proportional relationship between temperature and. Temperature x pressure = constant pressure: relation between air pressure and altitude, air pressure decreases with altitude, near surface, air pressure drops rapidly with increasing altitude, air pressure change and altitude, mt. Everest is about 60% higher than most of the surface"s air molecules: pressurized cans of shaving cream advise users not to expose the product to excessive heat. What happens if you do not follow the instruction: a standard pressure of 1,013. 2 hpa is also known as one atmosphere (1 atm).
