What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?

Air pressure.


Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?

Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.


When altitude increases does air density?

The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.


How is it that the altitude decrease and the density of the air does what?

Altitude decreases, pressure increase, temperature decreases (some, but less effect than pressure), density goes up.


What does a decrease in air pressure usually mean?

It could mean the altitude of something has been increased.


What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?

The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.


How does altitude affect density and air pressure?

Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.


What are different ways to manipulate air pressure?

Five ways:Temperature (increase in temperature means increase in pressure.)Velocity (increase the speed means decrease in pressure.)Amount of air particles (more particles means more pressure.)Changing the container (More space means less pressure.)Altitude (increase in altitude means decrease in pressure.)


How does air pressure drop?

Air pressure close to surface of the earth is 1 atmosphere. But as the altitude increases, air gets thinner in other words the molecules in air are farther than the one close to earth's surface. This causes the atmospheric pressure to decrease as we increase in altitude.


What is elevation and air pressure?

Altitude is a measurement of an objects distance above another body. Air Pressure Is a measurement of the flux potential accumulated at any given point of a wave-partical plane over a given time.


In the troposphere does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude?

In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).


What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
