decrease as if you go deep into the earth the pressure increases
If you blow a balloon up at sea level, and take it up to the top of the largest mountain, if the balloon hasn't pop, it would be bigger there than at sea level, because there is less air pressure as you increase your altitude, so the air within the balloon was "compacted" more or less at sea level and brought to a altitude where air was thinner and the air within the balloon would expand to try to compensate for the difference in pressure.

What happens to air pressure as the altitude of the layers of th e atmosphere increase?
The temperature decreases
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
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 is the meaning of inverse and direct relationship?
An inversely proportional relationship shows that as one variable of an equation increases, the other will decrease. A directly proportional relationship shows that as one variable increases, the other increases as well.
What happens to the thoracic cavity when the diaphragm relaxes?
When the diaphragm relaxes, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases. The resultant decrease in thoracic cavity leads to an increase in the pressure. This increase in pressure leads to the exhalation of air out of the lungs into the atmosphere.
As the altitude increases does the barometric pressure increase or decrease?
Decrease
What will happen to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude increases?
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
Which decreases as altitude increases?
As altitude increases pressure and temperature decrease.
Does pressure increase as you are increasing altitude?
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
When altitude increases does air density?
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
What is the effect of a temperature decrease and a pressure altitude increase on the density altitude from 90 F and 1250 feet pressure altitude to 55 F and 1750 feet pressure altitude?
1,700-foot decrease.
What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?
Air pressure.
What does air pressure do when altitude increases?
Air pressure decreases with increase of height.
Does pressure decrease or increase in the ocean?
Pressure increases as you go down.
Does air pressure of a tire decrease as the temperature of the tire increases?
No. The pressure increases with temperature increase
Does the atmospheric pressure increase or decrease as you move upward away from sea level?
The pressure will decrease, fall, as your altitude increases. No it would not it would increase above sea level
How does air pressure change when altitude increases?
the most likely answer should be yes because you can feel yourself getting less energy so that means that it is likely to be increasing
