No. Air pressure decreases as you move up in the atmosphere.
This is because air has mass and weight like everything else, and as you rise up in the atmosphere there is less air above you.

How does air pressure change as you move up in the atmosphere?
the air pressure increases
How does air pressure change as you move up the atmosphere?
the air pressure increases
What is happening to weather if air pressure increases?
Usually rising air pressure means that the weather will improve.
When altitude increases does air density?
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
What happens to air pressure when the barometer is rising?
The air pressure is rising.
What is the difference between altitude and air pressure?
Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.
What changes in air pressure would you expect if you carried barometer down a mineshaft?
the air pressure would increase because the amount of atmosphere above you increases
What does a change in air pressure tell you about the weather?
Rising air pressure would tell us that the air is being compressed downwards and is being warmed therefore causing clouds to disapear and more sun to prevail. Hope this helps! :)
How does temperature put wind in motion?
Temperature rising and falling increases or reduces air (density) pressure. Air will move from a high pressure to a low pressure system to balance it out. That movement is wind.
How does the air pressure change as the altitude increases?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. Gravity causes the atmosphere to become heavier the closer you are to the ground. The atmosphere may seem weightless but all the air molecules add up to a tremendous amount of mass. If you think of the atmosphere like blankets, the more blankets you have piled on you the heavier they become, thus pressing down on your body more and more. This is the same in the atmosphere, where the higher the altitude, the less overlying atmosphere, the less pressure on air molecules. At higher altitudes the air molecules have more freedom to move around.
Which layer of the earths atmosphere contains no wate vapor has an atmosphere pressure less than 1.0 atmosphere and has air temperature that increases wth altitude?
Its the hydrosphere
How do convection cells in Earth's atmosphere cause high pressure belts?
Areas of rising air causes low air pressure areas where as areas of sinking air are areas of high air pessure.
