    Key Questions:

    1. What is gas pressure caused by?
      • Gas pressure is caused by Particles (in a gas) bouncing off a surface.
    2. What is atmospheric pressure caused by?
      • Atmospheric pressure, it is caused by the weight of air above.
    3. What effect does increase of height have on atmospheric pressure? Explain this.
      • Atmospheric pressure, decreases with increase of height as weight of air above decreases with height
    4. What is the equation for calculating pressure?
      • Pressure = Force/area
