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. QuickTime™ and a Sorenson Video 3 decompressor are needed to see this picture.

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 . together Could Air Crush a Metal Tank Car ????? The inside of this tank car was washed out and cleaned with HOT steam.
