Atmospheric Pressure and Elevation When you go up in elevation your ears attend to pop. Well this attends to happen because you’re going through a change of air pressure(Jones79). What this means is that when you go up higher in elevation, the more pressure. The higher the elevation, the less air and air pressure. As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases(Jones79). media type="custom" key="7984180" align="center"

Water Pressure and Depth

The water pressure increases as the depth of the climb increases(Jones 79). When you go skydiving, when you first jump out there is a lot of pressure on you, but then as you decrease your altitude the pressure then decreases. The greater depth that you dive down deeper under water, the more weight of water above you. The atmosphere pushes down on the water given it more pressure(Jones 80). As a scuba diver dives deep into the ocean he faces series amount of water pressure. But when he tries to surface the pressure will then decrease. The deepest part of the ocean 1,000 times the amount of air pressure you experience daily(Jones 80). media type="custom" key="8012004"

Measuring Pressure

You can measure atmospheric pressure with an instrument called a barometer(Jones 80). A barometer is like a thermometer just it doesn’t measure the temperature, it measures the atmospheric pressure. There are two types of barometers, mercury, and aneroid barometer. If the barometer rapidly decreasing atmospheric pressure means that there is a storm coming. Increasing means fair whether. Barometers are measured in millimeters, inches, and millibar’s(Jones 80). media type="custom" key="8024910" align="center" "Jones, Griffith. //Prentice Hall Science Explorer//.
