What is in the Air? People generally believe that air is composed mostly of oxygen. In fact, they frequently use the terms "air" and "oxygen" interchangeably. This is a misconception. The content of oxygen in the air is relatively small when compared to the gas nitrogen.

The people at the bottom of the pyramid can feel all the weight and pressure of the people on top (high pressure). The person on the top doesnt feel any weight (less pressure)

In addition to gases, the air also contains moisture. As the humidity or moisture in the air increases the air pressure decreases

In Low Air Pressure, the air molecules are moving fast and are far apart.

In High Air Pressure, the air molecules are moving slow and are close . together

Could Air Crush a Metal Tank Car ?????

The inside of this tank car was washed out and cleaned with HOT steam. Then all the outlet valves were shut . The tank car was sealed. All the workers went home for the evening. In the morning when they returned this is what they found. This tank car was smashed, crushed, or collapsed by an unseen force why?
