No; rather the reverse, as you rise up into the atmosphere, the air pressure decreases.
Why? Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you. (If air did not have weight, it would all drift away into space and we'd be in a vacuum.) As you ascend, there is less air above you to make that pressure, so the pressure decreases. What does ascend mean?

By the time you reach 18,000 feet (5500 meters) of altitude, the air pressure is about half as high as at sea level, and by 27,000 feet (8200 meters), it is about a third as much. (Of course, the important aspect of lower pressure, starting above 10,000 feet (3000 meters) is the lack of available oxygen to breathe.)

∙ 15y agoNo, the opposite happens. The pressure decreases because you have less weight of air above you as you go higher.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, because of the effect of gravity, air molecules are more concentraded in low altitudes, as altitude increases there are fewer air molecules, therefore less air pressure.

Does atmospheric pressure decrease the deeper you go in the atmosphere?
it increases.
As we go up in atmosphere air density decreases also there encounters decrease in pressure and temperatue so how it can be justified with real gas relation?
The decrease in pressure and temperature can be easily justified by manipulating the variables in the real gas equation. The van der Waals model is enough to demonstrate this.
As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...
What happens when you go up into the atmosphere?
The atmospheric pressure reduces
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
Does atmospheric pressure decrease the deeper you go in the atmosphere?
it increases.
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you move up into the atmosphere?
Air pressure decreases as you go up.
How does atmosphere pressure with height in the atmosphere?
Generally, atmospheric pressure is greatest at ground level, because you are at the bottom of the 25 mile thick atmosphere of earth. Greatest water pressure in a swimming pool is at the bottom, too. As you go up into the atmosphere, the pressure tends to decrease.
Does air pressure increase or decrease as you go higher?
decrease
Does pressure decrease or increase in the ocean?
Pressure increases as you go down.
How does the composition of gas change as you travel up through Earth's atmosphere?
The pressure and the temperature would go on increasing .
As we go up in atmosphere air density decreases also there encounters decrease in pressure and temperatue so how it can be justified with real gas relation?
The decrease in pressure and temperature can be easily justified by manipulating the variables in the real gas equation. The van der Waals model is enough to demonstrate this.
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
Is there more pressure in the Sahara desert or at the top of Mount Everest?
There is more atmospheric pressure in the Sahara Desert. The number of air molecules around us decrease as we go higher into the atmosphere, which also causes the air pressure to decrease. Since the Sahara Desert is closer to sea level than Mount Everest is, there are more air molecules and more pressure there.
As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?
The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...
Where does low pressure go in the atmosphere?
down
Why does the density of the atmosphere decrease with height?
The Earth's atmosphere declines with altitude.
