Density isn't affected by elevation. Density = Mass/Volume
Therefore elevation has no factor in density.

How would elevation of mountains be different if rocks were denser?
By definition, increasing the density of rocks in the mountains would decrease the elevation of mountains. However one could try to reason that increasing the density would cause more increase in uplift and and increase in elevation.
Does the percentage of Oxygen drop with elevation?
No. It changes negligably from the standard ~21% regardless of elevation. (at any elevation you can survive at anyway) :p The actual amount of available oxygen does change, due to a decrease in atmospheric density as elevation increases. For example: at 17,700ft (apparently a common Mt. Everest base camp) the air density is approximately 51% of the density at sea level. So you COULD express it as 51% of ~21%, which would be about 10.71%.
What effects on density of air if tempecture increase?
A gas (including air) will expand if the temperature increases. That means the same mass of gas will have a larger volume. Since density is mass / volume, that means the density will decrease.
Does humidity affect air density?
Yes humidity effects the density of air in a way when humidity increases the air density decreases . the reason behind this phenomena is when the amount water vapor increases the major air content i.e O2 and N2 decreases per volume and since we are talking about air density we say density of air is decreased.
Why is elevation importance?
Why is elevation important
Air density decreases with elevation increase. Is there an equation to make this calulation?
as you increase elevation (height above sea level0the density of the air decreases.
What effects of increase does density do?
Density decrease when the temperature is raising.
How would elevation of mountains be different if rocks were denser?
By definition, increasing the density of rocks in the mountains would decrease the elevation of mountains. However one could try to reason that increasing the density would cause more increase in uplift and and increase in elevation.
What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?
change in elevation and change in density

How does the elevation affect the climate of cairo Egypt?
This effects the climate because the higher the elevation the lower the temperature drops-i dedicate this answer to my teacher mr.d'Entremont
What are the two main things used to classify a cloud?
The main characteristics of clouds are their elevation, and their density.
What type of factors are limiting factors whose effects are not influenced by population density?
density independent.
How cooling water effects its density HELPPPP?
When you cool water its density will increase as it will become more dense.
What the effects of chemical density?
Density is a physical property; the unit in SI is Mg/m3. Materials with density under 1 float on water.
What is air density?
Air density is the mass of air per unit volume, which changes by temperature, humidity, and elevation. Changes in air density will change its pressure. At mean sea level and 20°C, air has a density of approximately 1.2 kg/m3.
Effects of density on the position of material?
Lower density materials would work their way to the top of a free moving solution.
