The measure of force with which air molecules are pushing on earths surface is called air pressure. At sea level, at what we call standard atmospheric pressure, the pressure is about 14.696 PSI, or about 29.92 inHg, or about 760 mmHg. This is 101.324

What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
Will a force of a deposition of sediments that builds up a delta most likely cause the surface of the Earth to change the quickest?
yes. Some parts yes , however deltas are very small in comparison to the overall size of the Earths surface. Volcanoes are also responsible for radical changes , but again the Earth's a big place.
The force of an earthquake is?
'..... is measured on the Richter scale.'Transform Fault Boundaries.the plate of the earth pushes oppositedirections and that causes the earth to shake
What force of gravity is on the surface of mercury?
3.7 m/s2 or 0.38 g
What is the force of gravity at Earth's surface?
Rock samples and Indirect evidence from seismic waves.:)
When you swim what is the force of the water which pushes you toward the surface?
The buoyant force pushes you toward the surface.
What force pushes out magma out of a volcano onto the surface?
Pressure.
What is the force that builds up features of earths surface?
Constructive Force
What force makes a car begin to move?
1. The forces involved are arise in response to the action of an applied force. 2. Discuss the interaction between an object and a surface it is resting on; the object pushes down on the surface; the surface pushes up on the object with an equal force; this is called the reaction of the surface. 3. Discuss the interaction between two surfaces which slide (or tend to slide) relative to each other; each surface experiences a force in the direction which prevents (or tends to prevent) relative movement; this interaction is called friction.
What is the force on the Moon's surface compared to the force of gravity on earths surface?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of the earth's.
Which force pushes a volleyball out of the water when you attempt to hold it beneath the surface?
buoyancy
Which fundamental force of nature is responsible for keeping you on earths surface?
Gravity.
What is the gravitational force on any object near the earths surface?
Force (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration (m/s/s) > Acceleration at earths surface radius = 9.82 m/s/s
How do spacecrafts get into space?
It is a force called the thrust and it pushes it into space.
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
Why do objects seldom move when forces are applied?
If the object doesn't move, that means there is an opposing force. In that case, the net force on the object is zero. Two typical cases are: * An object resting on a surface is pulled down by gravity. The surface pushes the object up. * In the case of a force that pulls or pushes sideways, the opposing force is usually friction.
The force of a fluid that pushes an object up is called?
bouyancy or upthrust
