air grows thinner so it gives less pressure on the earth's surface
Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
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 atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude. Atmosphere, thin though it is, has weight, and it is the weight of the air above which compresses the air below it, to greater density.
As air rises it decompresses, as pressure decreases with increasing altitude. All gasses cool when decompressed. This process is called adiabatic cooling.
Three changes are: Temperature DECREASES Air Pressure DECREASES Mass of Air DECREASES Sources: Worksheet A.2 Graphing Atmosphere Data from Chemistry Class

The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.
As the amount of air above us decreases...the air pressure decreases.
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
air grows thinner so it gives less pressure on the earth's surface
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
The density of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
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 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.
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
since there is less gravity when you go higher in the atmosphere, there is less air being pulled down and causes the reduce of air pressure.
