When you go higher up does the air pressure get higher or lower?

Increasing altitude decreases air pressure. In other words, they are an inverse relationship -- as one goes up, the other goes down. This is why when low-altitude dwellers like along the Coastlines travel to mountainous areas, they find it harder to breathe; the air is just thinner at high altitude.

As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...
Does air pressure get lower or higher the farther you go up in Earth's atmosphere?
it gets higher becaus ethe higher you go the more pressure is on you i think
How would air pressure change as you drive up and then down a mountain?
Because of temperature change when you are up is higher and down is lower. So the air pressure would go lower.
Why the density decrees at higher altitudes?
the density decreases because their is more air pressure in lower altitudes and as you go up their is less air pressure making it hard to breath
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.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
Is air pressure greater when your higher up or lower?
Air pressure is caused by the weight of all the air stacked up above you. The higher you go, the less air there is above you, so the pressure is lower.
As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...
What is the pressure like on each of the atmosphere?
The higher you go up the lower the pressure but less air
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
Does air pressure get lower or higher the farther you go up in Earth's atmosphere?
it gets higher becaus ethe higher you go the more pressure is on you i think
How does air temperature change with altiltude?
Yes. The higher you go the lower the pressure is and the lower you go the higher the pressure is. That's why your ears feel like popping in a plane or in a vally and things like that.
When you are on top of a mountain is the air pressure higher dou to the cold temperature of lower due to the high altitude?
Higher than what? As you go up a mountain the air pressure gets lower simply because there is less air above you weighing down on you.
When you get higher what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure decreases as you go higher.
Is it true that Air pressure increases as you go up in alitiude because gas particles in the air get father apart?
This is not true. Instead, air pressure gets lower and lower as you go higher up because there is less air above you that is pushing down on you.
Why does elevation affect pressure?
The higher the elevation the lower the pressure.The lower the elevation the higher the pressure.The change can be expressesd by the formula:p = 101325 (1 - 2.25577 10-5 h)5.25588wherep = air pressure (Pa)h = altitude above sea level (m)
Why is the air pressure lower at higher altitude?
Same reason water pressure is higher the deeper you go. There's more stuff above, pressing down. Air has density and weight too.
