Going farther up into air, pressure decreases. Going down, pressure increases. When you think about it, more air is pressing down on you when you are standing on earth because more is on top of you. When you are up in the air, there isn't as much air pressing on you which shows that there isn't as much pressure. The same concept applies when under water; The farther you go under, more water is pressing on you than when you are more towards the surface which=more pressure (underwater).

As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease
When you inhale does pressure decrease inside or increase?
The act of inhaling is to create low pressure in the lungs, causing the air in the atmosphere to rush in as it is moving from a higher pressure (outside in the atmosphere) to the lower pressure (created in the lungs). However the fact that air does move into the lungs means that there is no net change in pressure.
Does temperature affect air pressure?
In the atmosphere increasing the temperature the pressure decrease.
Does atmospheric pressure decrease the deeper you go in the atmosphere?
it increases.
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you move up into the atmosphere?
Air pressure decreases as you go up.
Do skis increase or decrease pressure?
they decrease pressure
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease
How can pressure be increased or decreased?
Increase pressure: decrease volume, increase temperature, increase moles of substance. Decrease pressure: do the reverse
In divergent nozzle pressure will increase or decrease?
If the flow is subsonic the pressure will increase, if however it is supersonic the pressure will decrease.
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you go higher?
decrease
As the altitude increases does the barometric pressure increase or decrease?
Decrease
How can you increase the solubility of a gaseous solute?
Decrease the temperature, if aqueous. Increase the pressure.
When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?
The pressure increases.
Does pressure increase or decrease as it goes deeper in the earth?
Increase.
Will increase the volume of the gas?
An increase of the temperature or a decrease of the pressure.
An increase in evaporation is caused by?
- an increase of the temperature - a decrease of the pressure
