No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.

What increases as elevation decreases on earth's surface?
Atmospheric pressure, among other things, increases as elevation is reduced. This is because as you get lower, there is more atmospheric mass above wherever you are. This is the same underwater. Pressure increases as you swim down and more and more water is situated above you.
What effect does cold air have on air pressure?
Cold air increases air pressure
Does the sea have more air pressure than the mountain?
The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.
How is air pressure related to altitude?
The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure becomes. This can be logically understood. Atmospheric air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above it. At greater heights, the amount of air above you is less, so there is less weight pressing on the air you are in. This is the reason why the atmospheric pressure is higher at the sea-levels and lower at mountains and places of high altitudes.
Is air everywhere equal in pressure?
No. The pressure changes depending on elevation and also the current weather.
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.
How does air pressure changes altitude increases?
It decreases. Air pressure is simply the pressure of all the other air on top of it. As you increase in elevation, there is less air on top of you. Therefore, the air pressure is less. As your altitude decreases, there is more air on top of you, therefore, the air pressure increases. Same with water. As you descend, water pressure increases. More on top of you.
Where is pressure the greatest in the atmosphere?
The troposphere. Pressure decreases as elevation increases.
Does air pressure increase as you get farther away from the ground?
No it decreases. That's why plane cabins need to be pressurized during flights. As your elevation increases, the air pressure decreases. It's inversely proportional.
What happens to air pressure as the distance from Earths surface increases?
the air pressure increases
What happens to air pressure as distance from earth's surface increases?
the air pressure increases
As elevation increases this becomes thinner?
"air" and/or "oxygen"
What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
What does cold air have on air pressure?
Cold air increases air pressure
How does air pressure vary with elevation?
The pressure of the air on one square-inch of your head is the weight of air from that square-inch all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. As you go up in elevation, some of the atmosphere is below you, and there is less of it above you. So the weight on each square inch, and thus the air pressure, becomes less.
What increases as elevation decreases on earth's surface?
Atmospheric pressure, among other things, increases as elevation is reduced. This is because as you get lower, there is more atmospheric mass above wherever you are. This is the same underwater. Pressure increases as you swim down and more and more water is situated above you.
