Does air pressure decrease with increasing altitudes?
No, air pressure decreases with increasing elevation. This is because air pressure is due to the weight of the column of air above where you are. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the less the weight of that column of air and the lower the air pressure.
Why does Atmospheric pressure exists because air has what?
Because air has water vapor.

Why does air pressure vary?
Air pressure varies because of the differences in air's density.
Why does cool air have greater air pressure than cool air?
Cool air has more pressure because it's particles are condenced and warm air has less air pressure because the particles in it are more spread out.
How does differental heating affect air pressure?
It affects the air pressure because the more higher level you have the more air pressure and the lower you have the lower the air pressure will be.
Why air pressure is high at low places?
because air pressure is high
Why are there changes in air movement air pressure and humidity?
