It's really not that different from the rest of the world, since it still has an entire atmosphere of air weighing down on it which is what air pressure is. If Antarctica were at sea level it would tend to be slightly higher due to high pressure prevailing (climatologically at the poles). But since much of Antarctica is up pretty high in elevation (several thousand meters) just due to there being so much ice on top of the land, the actual air pressure is pretty low - on par with that of a location in the mountains.

What uses air pressure to work?
air
What is air moves from a point at which air pressure?
high pressure to low pressure
Air pressure is caused by?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. As altitude increases, there is less air above, resulting in lower air pressure. Temperature and humidity can also affect air pressure.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
What can effect air pressure and why?
Several factors can affect air pressure, including altitude, temperature, and humidity. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases due to the thinner air at higher altitudes. Temperature can also affect air pressure, with warm air typically having lower pressure than cold air. Humidity can impact air pressure by altering the density of the air.
Antarcticas eco system?
it is the cycle of antarctia
What is antarcticas largest lake?
Lake Vostok
When was antarcticas treaty signed?
The treaty was signed in 1959.
What is Antarcticas largest ocean?
Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.
What grows in antarcticas environmant?
livin' things mate! plants!!
What is Antarcticas average elevation?
7500 ft
What is antarcticas main environment?
Antarctica is a dry, arid polar environment.
How is earths air pressure different from seas air pressure?
It is different in that the seas don't have air pressure. No air; no air pressure.
How does air pressure affect air movement?
Air pressure affects air movement because air moves from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure pushes or will press the air around.
What does high air pressure?
air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you and high pressure is air that rises.
Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
How air density related to air pressure?
As air pressure pressure decreases with altitude, so does the densite of air.
