Air Pressure
 Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to
the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is
distributed.
 Various units are used to express pressure. Some of these derive
from a unit of force divided by a unit of area.
 The SI unit of pressure, the pascal (Pa), for example, is one
newton per square meter N/m2. customary systems.
 Pressure may also be expressed in terms of standard
atmospheric pressure; the atmosphere (atm) is equal to this
pressure, and the torr is defined as 1⁄760 of this.

Applications of Air
pressure
 Why do balloons get inflated when air
is blown into it?
 Why does a tin can containing cold
air/water; shrink?

20XX 14
Why do balloons get inflated when air is blown into it?

When we blow air into a balloon, the free

moving particles of air collide with each
Internal
other and the inner walls of the balloon. Pressure
This process of colliding with it, exerts a (GAS)
force on the balloon from inside, upon its
surface area. This is air pressure.
This air pressure acting upon the inner
walls of the balloon causes it to expand and
get inflated.

15
Air moves from a region of high pressure to low pressure

Air moves from a region of high

pressure to low pressure. This
causes air to move and cause winds,
breeze, cyclones, tornadoes, etc.
Wind is the movement of air which
depends on the pressure difference
of air. As the difference in the air
pressure increases, the speed of
wind increase.

16
 What causes the wind to blow?
 Wind is produced by the uneven heating of earth.
 Wind blows due to the difference in the atmospheric pressure of
two regions. These differences in air pressures are created by
the uneven heating ( Unequal heating) on the earth by the sun.

 Uneven heating can occur in either equator and poles of the

earth or on the land or ocean surfaces

 The regions near the equator of earth receive the maximum heat
from the sun, so the air in the equatorial region gets heated and
becomes warm. The warm air rises in the equatorial region of
earth; creating a region of low pressure.
Presentation title 17
 Pressure decreases as we go high
up in the altitude, because the
gravity of earth keeps maximum
air close to its surface.

Presentation title 20XX 18

 Cyclone
 Cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a
strong center of low atmospheric pressure.
 Cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
when viewed from above.
 Cyclones are characterized by inward-spiraling winds that
rotate about a zone of low pressure.
 The central zone of low pressure in a cyclone is called
“eye” of the cyclone.

Define air pressure. What are the units in which air

pressure is measured?

has a small hole in it. What is the reason of this?

20XX 22
 ANALYSE

 1) Prepare a list of all available materials and make paper ‘chits’
writing the names of these materials on them.
2) Ask a student to draw out a chit and perform an activity related
to air pressure/ properties of air with the material as per the
chit.
