Definitely. P = Density * gravity * Height
The more ascend, the less air will remain on top of you. In other words there are less air to exert pressure on you. Therefore, pressure will go down.

When you get higher what happens to air pressure?
Air pressure decreases as you go higher.
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 has higher pressure a mountain or a valley?
i think a valley does because when you climb a mountain the air pressure decreases the higher you go.
Is it true that atmospheric pressure decreases with increased altitude?
False. The air pressure decreases and gets thinner as you go up. That is part of the reason why you can get nose bleeds as you go higher.
Why would it be cooler if you climb to a higher elevation in a desert?
it will be cooler because it air pressure decreases as you go higher in space.... DUHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Why would it be cooler if you climb a higher elevation in a desert.?
it will be cooler because it air pressure decreases as you go higher in space.... DUHHHH!!!!!!!!!
What happens to air pressure when you move higher above the earth surface?
The air pressure decreases the higher you go. This the reason that climbers hoping to reach the top of Mount Everest, carry air cylinders as the air is so thin.
What does the air pressure do as you move up?
the air pressure decreases as you go up.
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
How does air pressure change when you go up a mountain?
Air pressure at any altitude is determined by how strongly gravity forces the surrounding air molecules together and downward. The higher the altitude the less pull gravity exerts on the air molecules, and consequently, the air pressure decreases. So, as you climb a mountain, the higher you go, the lower the ambient air pressure.
Why is it that when you go up a mountain you get colder because your near to the sun?
because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitude that causes temperature to be colder on the top of a mountain compared to sea level.
Does air pressure increase as you go towards the center of a hurricane?
No. Air pressure decreases.
