What are Gigapascal and Hectopascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one billion pascals. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to measure high pressures, such as the stiffness of materials or the internal pressure within geological formations. One gigapascal represents immense pressure, often comparable to the force exerted by many tons over a square meter.

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one hundred pascals and is equivalent to one millibar. It is widely used in meteorological reports to describe atmospheric pressure because it is conveniently close to the average pressure at sea level on Earth. The hectopascal is recognized for its utility in weather forecasting and aviation as it helps in understanding and predicting weather patterns.
