| • | Since
the pressure is higher on the ground |
||||||
| than
further up in the atmosphere, why |
|||||||
| doesn’t
the pressure gradient force cause the |
|||||||
| air
to flow uniformly up? |
|||||||
| • | Gravity
balances the pressure gradient force |
||||||
| to
create hydrostatic equilibrium. |
