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
doesn’t 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

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?
