﻿Atmospheric Pressure and Elevation Have you ever felt a pop in your ears when going upward? This is because when traveling up,pressure is lesser than traveling downward because there is less air above. Your ears pop because your body is making an adjustment to match the outside pressure.The fact that pressure lessens as you get higher in elevation tells why your ears pop.we When the air pressure outside your body changes the air pressure inside changes but not as fast so for a second the air pressure behind your ears is more great than it is for the air outside Your body realeses this pressure by popping making the pressures equal.(Jones) This picture shows that as you go higher up pressure decreases and going downwards makes pressure increase.

As you go deeper into the water, you will feel an increase of pressure in relation to your depth.Basically, the more water there is above you, the greater weight and pressure bearing down on you. Added onto that is the air above pushing on the water."the pressure is more than 1,000 times the air pressure you experience every day."(Jones)

There are two types of barometers a mecury one and a aneroid barometer. The aneroid barometer is something you usually see hanging on a wall. Weather forcastors use barometers to determine the weather.quickly decreasing atmosphere pressure usually means a storm is coming.increasing pressure usualy means good weather. Barometer readings are usualy measured in millimeters inches or millibar. (Jones)
