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.

Why as the elevation increases the temperature decreases?
The world is warmed by sunlight, which passes through the (mostly) transparent atmosphere, and warms up the ground. The farther away from the ground you get, the farther you are from the warmth of the ground.
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
What happens to air pressure when you move upward away from sea level?
The farther up away you are from sea level the less air pressure there is.
What's the easiest way to increase the accuracy of an old rifle?
The easiest way to increase your accuracy in distance shooting is to start out closer, and then practice going farther and farther away until you eventually get better.
Does high pressure take away more space?
yes. high pressure take away space because when high pressure came together it increase the pressure.
Is taking blood pressure in the leg the same as taking it in the arm?
Yes. It will be the same pressure, but because the leg is farther away from the heart, it will be harder to find.
As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?
It will decrease not by much though it is not noticeable compared to the earths radius
Keeping the location of the effort constant Will the effort increase if the load is moved farther away from the fulcrum?
The magnitude of the effort is controlled by you, not by the distance of the load from the fulcrum. Moving the load farther away from the fulcrum has no effect on the effort. But if you want to leave the effort where it is and still lift the load with the lever, then you're going to have to increase the effort.
Which is farther away from the US Italy or Japan?
From LAX Italy is farther away
Why does the temperature decrease as elevation increases?
The heat of the earth escapes through the atmosphere into outer space. Greenhouse gases interfere with/ clog up that process. The higher up in the atmosphere, the colder it is. So it is colder at higher elevations. Also, the low air pressure a sparsity of air particles cause the air to be thinner and colder
Why do your ears pop when you travel in aeroplanes?
The air pressure increases as you move farther away from the Earth, which causes your eardrum to push inward.
