Air pressure 0 Because air has mass, it also has other properties, including density and pressure. 0 Density=mass/volume 0 Pressure- the force pushing on an area or surface.

Pressure 0 Air pressure- is the result of the weight of a column of air pushing down on an area. 0 Extends upward through the entire atmosphere. 0 The weight of the column of air above your desk is about the same as the weight of a school bus. 0 Molecules in the air push in all directions—up, down, and sideways. The air pushing down is balanced by the air pushing up.

Measuring air pressure 0 Two common kinds of barometers are mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. 0 Mercury barometer- consists of a glass tube open at the bottom end and partially filled with mercury. 0 Aneroid barometers-when air pressure increases, the thin walls of the chamber are pushed in, when pressure drops, the walls bulge out. Mercury barometer Aneroid barometer

Units of air pressure 0 Most weather reports for the general public use inches of mercury. 0 Example: if the column of mercury in a mercury barometer is 30 inches high, the air pressure is “30 inches of mercury” 0 National Weather Service maps indicate air pressure in millibars. One inch of mercury is about millibars, so 30 inches is 1,016 millibars

altitude 0 Altitude is the distance above sea level, the average level of the surface of the ocean. 0 Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air pressure decreases, so does density.
