Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A scientist measures atmospheric pressure at sea level to be 1013.25 hPa. As they ascend a mountain, the pressure decreases. Calculate the new pressure at an altitude of 500m, knowing that the pressure drops by approximately 12 hPa for every 100m increase in altitude.
💡 Hint: Use the rule of thumb that pressure decreases as you go higher.
Question 2
Explain how changing atmospheric pressure can influence thunderstorms. Discuss the necessary conditions for thunderstorm formation related to atmospheric pressure.
💡 Hint: What role does warm air play in storm systems?
