The higher you go, the lesser the air pressure becomes. This can be logically understood. Atmospheric air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above it. At greater heights, the amount of air above you is less, so there is less weight pressing on the air you are in. This is the reason why the atmospheric pressure is higher at the sea-levels and lower at mountains and places of high altitudes.
Air pressure does not effect altitude, unless of course you are talking about the air pressure in a potato gun effecting the altitude the potato will reach.
Altitude however does effect air pressure. The static air pressure at sea level is really the weight of all the air above you. At higher altitudes there is simply less air pressing on you.
atmospheric pressure- and also temperature, decline with altitude. this is the principle behind all aneroid-based altimiters. The instrument, thus has to be compensated before flight by aligning with the current ground-level barometric pressure-all airports have weather stations and this information is passed to pilots by the control towers, hence Barometric pressure is Bracket Twenty nine-8. so the airmen would calibrate the barometer ( on the three o"clock position is a Kollsman window-to 29.8 which is the ground level barometric pressure- the Height indications would then read correct.The altimeter is a refined form of Aneroid barometer.
Air pressure decreases as elevation increases
They are related because as air pressure increases altitude decreases or altitude increases air pressure decreases
As you go higher in altitude, pressure drops and vice versa.
Pressure and elevation on Earth are inversely proportional. That is, if elevation goes up, then pressure goes down.
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Decreases
it decreases
No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.
The air pressure slowly decreases as you rise in altitude.
As air pressure pressure decreases with altitude, so does the densite of air.
As air pressure pressure decreases with altitude, so does the densite of air.
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.
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air pressure decreases, so does density.
The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
