Does air pressure increase as altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.

When altitude increase, oxygen will decrease

Air pressure increase with lower altitude. Atmospheric pressure is due to air mass loading down to surface, high altitude had smaller amount of air mass on top.

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.

They are related because as air pressure increases altitude decreases or altitude increases air pressure decreases

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

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

FALSE. air pressure DECREASES as altitude increases

Air pressure change in each layer of the earth as altitude increases due to variation in the density of air. At high altitude, air pressure is low due to less density of air up there..while at sea level..air pressure is at utmost of it due to increase in the density of air.

The pressure also increases

False, air pressure goes down as altitude increases. Air acts like water in the sense that they are both fluids. If you are on the surface of the earth you are in the bottom of the fluid just like water the pressure is higher on the bottom. So when you increase altitude you are reaching the top of the fluid therefore decreasing pressure.

This would actually be a simple answer: Pressure decreases. Simply because of the fact that as altitude increases, the less air there is on top of you, and the lower the pressure would be.

It decreases.

Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.

No. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

Air density, like air pressure, decreases with increasing altitude

No. Air pressure decreases with altitude.

Air pressure increases as altitude decreases.

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…

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.

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

it decreases

An increase in air pressure. Air pressure increases with decreasing altitude, meaning pressure is higher the lower you go. As the air pressure around you increases the pressure inside your ears remains the same, creating an uncomfortable pressure difference.

As altitude increases, temperature increases by 12.5oC every 1km upwards, and pressure rapidly decreases.

As the altitude increases, the pressure and the density of the atmosphere decrease.

no, it increases...

It decreases

No, in general the opposite is true.

air pressure decreases as alitude increases an vise versa

Air pressure decreases as you increase altitude because the mass of air above you is less.

no it decreases

As altitude increases, pressure decreases.

No, it is not. The pressure decreases as the altitude increases.

Air pressure decreases with an increase in altitude because the higher you are, the less air there is above weighing down upon you. This is because air behaves much like water. If you are swimming, the deeper you dive, the greater you feel the pressure build, because there is more water above weighing down upon you. It is the same with air. On top of a mountain, air pressure is lower because the column of…

Air has weight, and weight means pressure. The higher up you go, the less air left above to press down --and so, less pressure Air Pressure decreases with the rise of altitude and increases when lowered. Example: You would not be able to breathe as well high in the air as you would standing on the ground. At higher altitude, air pressure decreases. Eventually the air runs out entirely at about 200 miles altitude, at…

As altitude increases so air pressure reduces, until the limit of our atmosphere is reached. After which the vacuum of space is entered.

Air pressure measures the amount air pressing down from above. The pressure also forces the air molecules to press together. That is the density of the air. As altitude increases (you go higher), the amount of air above decreases, so the air pressure decreases and the density also decreases.

When altitude increases...the air pressure decreases:)) Hope this helped alittle bit=] Thank yuee fot your time!! Peace and luvv<3, <3Sissie<3

The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.

Atmospheric air pressure is the relative weight of air (and moisture) compressing a surface due to gravitational pull and temperature. Or air pressure can be mechanically increased or decreased within a specific container by compressing it or decompressing it or heating or cooling it. an increase in temperature of an unchanged volume of air will increase the pressure. A decrease will decrease the pressure. A decrease in volume of air at an unchanged temperature will…

When the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases (or "GOES DOWN") and vice versa. This is due to the fact that air is affected by gravity, therefore there is more of it at a lower altitude than at a higher altitude.

Increase in air pressure means the pressure on piece of area increases by the action of sun

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.

Air pressure is the weight of all the air above you. The higher you go, the more air is below you.

Air pressure.

No. The pressure increases with temperature increase

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.)

Yes. There is a direct relation between temperature and pressure. This means that as temperature increases, pressure also increases at the same proportion as the temperature, and vice verse. So, as altitude increases, temperature decreases. This means that as the bike travels up in altitude where it is colder, the pressure in the tires will decrease.

Since you are supporting a column of air above it, and the air gets less dense with altitude, it is roughly exponential. pressure in mmHg = 760 e -1.24 * altitude in meters

Pressure affects the density of air by increase of pressure increases the density
