Why is atomaspheric pressure greater at the surface on Earth

Because there are miles of air on top of you and air has mass so all the mass of the air on top of you is on your head and the ground. (the air can't penetrate the ground)

Take note: Air is also denser at sea level because it was compressed.

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

6. Two light bulbs are designed for use at 120 V and are rated at 75 W and 150 W. Which light bulb has the greater filament resi

Nonamiya [84]

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

P is power
R is resistance

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}$

Hence

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto V$

$\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow R\propto \dfrac{1}{P}$

Therefore if power is low then resistance will be high.

The first bulb has less power hence it has greater filament resistance.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The water is stored in ice sheets and as snow

Explanation:

Temperature reduces with an increase in altitudes. The standard laps rate is 6.5°C per 1,000 m gained in elevation

At very high elevations, therefore, the air is usually very cold such that when an elevation of 4,500 meters is reached at the equator, it is possible to observe snowfall and the water remain temporarily stored on the surface of the mountain as ice and snow
