The highest sea-level pressure on Earth occurs in Siberia, where the Siberian High often attains a sea-level pressure above 1050 mbar (105 kPa; 31 inHg), with record highs close to 1085 mbar (108.5 kPa; 32.0 inHg).
Q. Why is the troposphere thicker at the equator?
Thickness of the troposphere is greatest at the equator because heat is transported to great heights by strong convectional currents. This layer contains dust particles and water vapour. All changes in climate and weather take place in this layer.

Q. What layer of the atmosphere is the thickest?
thermosphere
Q. Is air thinner at the poles?
This means at the north and south pole, the atmosphere is thinner than anywhere else on earth, because the air is pulled away from there. Ozone is in the same percentage all around the earth (because gasses diffuse % evenly) so it is natural that there is less at the poles.
Q. Where is the highest air pressure found?
The highest barometric pressure ever recorded was 1083.8mb (32 in) at Agata, Siberia, Russia (alt. 262m or 862ft) on 31 December 1968. This pressure corresponds to being at an altitude of nearly 600 m (2,000 ft) below sea level!
Q. What is the highest air pressure ever recorded on Earth?
32.00″
Q. Why is there no air pressure in the thermosphere?
Pressure also changes as weather patterns move through areas. The standard air pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch, or about 100 kilopascals. Air pressure is so minimal at the top of the thermosphere that an air molecule can travel large distances before hitting another air molecule.
Q. Where is the Earth’s crust the thickest?
The crust is thickest under high mountains and thinnest beneath the ocean. The continental crust consists of rocks such as granite, sandstone, and marble.
Q. Is the asthenosphere solid or liquid?
The asthenosphere is a solid but it can flow, like toothpaste. The lithosphere rests on the asthenosphere.
Q. What layer is the most dense?
inner core
Q. What layer is semisolid and acts like a plastic?
asthenosphere
Q. What are the 3 layers of the mantle?
The mantle is divided into several layers: the upper mantle, the transition zone, the lower mantle, and D” (D double-prime), the strange region where the mantle meets the outer core.
Q. What 2 layers of Earth’s interior are in liquid phase?
1 Answer. The crust and the inner core are solid, whereas the outer core and inner mantle are liquid.
Q. What is naturally deep inside the planet Earth?
Earth scientists have long known that the dominant mineral olivine in Earth’s outer shell, compresses into another mineral named wadsleyite at 410 km (255 mile) depth, which then changes into ringwoodite around 520 km (325 mile) depth and then again into perovskite + magnesiowüstite at 660 km (410 mile) depth.
Q. Do we live inside or on top of the earth?
Earth is the planet we live on. It is the only planet in the Solar System with liquid water on its surface. It is also the only planet we know to have life on it. Earth is also known as Terra.
