Atmospheric pressure

• Pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the atmosphere above it.
• The atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101 kPa or 760 mmHg
• Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by air on an object.
• The atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101 kPa (kilopascals).
• The gases pressure on the earth is described as the atmospheric pressure.
• The atmosphere is a layer of gas that extends the height of 700km above the earths surface
• The pressure become less at higher altitudes. For example, at the top of Everest, the pressure is 33kPa
