Hikers have noticed that a sealed bag of potato chips puffs up when taken to the top of a mountain. Suppose that at the valley floor below, the air pressure is 1.0 atm, temperature is 25°C, and the volume of the chip bag is 0.985 L. At the top of the mountain, the temperature is 22°C and the chip bag has puffed up to 1.030 L.

What is the air pressure on top of the mountain?

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
