A barometer is a tool that measures air pressure

A rising barometer indicates increasing air pressure, a falling barometer indicates decreasing air pressure.

In space, there is a nearly complete vacuum, so the air pressure is zero.

"Pressure" is the ratio of mass to area. So, for any given area, the one with more mass pressing on it will experience a higher pressure.

As you go more deeply into the atmosphere OR earth itself, you are putting more and more mass over you. For the same unit area therefore, the pressure, (mass/area) increases.

Hence, the lowest layer will always have the highest pressure i.e, inner core.

We want the temperature when F=C.

We know that, F = C x 95 + 32

So substituting C For F, we have C = -40o

Therefore,  C = -40. 

Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

The transport phenomenon occurs only in equilibrium state of a gas and is irreversible.

A manometer is used to measure a pressure difference between two points.

Blood is a heterogeneous mixture because the blood cells are physically separate from the blood plasma. The cells have different properties than the plasma. The cells can be separated from the plasma by centrifuging, which is a physical change.
