What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?

Air pressure.


What are different ways to manipulate air pressure?

Five ways:Temperature (increase in temperature means increase in pressure.)Velocity (increase the speed means decrease in pressure.)Amount of air particles (more particles means more pressure.)Changing the container (More space means less pressure.)Altitude (increase in altitude means decrease in pressure.)


How is it that the altitude decrease and the density of the air does what?

Altitude decreases, pressure increase, temperature decreases (some, but less effect than pressure), density goes up.


Does pressure increase or decrease with altitude?

Because as you climb higher there is less air above you pressing down on you with its weight.


Why does density of air decrease with increase in height?

The density of air decreases with increasing altitude because air at high altitudes is under less pressure.


In the troposphere does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude?

In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).


Does air pressure decrease non-uniformly with altitude?

no


How does air pressure drop?

Air pressure close to surface of the earth is 1 atmosphere. But as the altitude increases, air gets thinner in other words the molecules in air are farther than the one close to earth's surface. This causes the atmospheric pressure to decrease as we increase in altitude.


What does air pressure do when altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.


How does air pressure occur?

Air pressure occurs by gravity. Gravity sucks everything down from the atmosphere, including the air. Becasuse the air is being pulled down fast, it creates pressure from the speed of the pulling.


As the altitude increases does air pressure increase or decrease?

decrease as if you go deep into the earth the pressure increases If you blow a balloon up at sea level, and take it up to the top of the largest mountain, if the balloon hasn't pop, it would be bigger there than at sea level, because there is less air pressure as you increase your altitude, so the air within the balloon was "compacted" more or less at sea level and brought to a altitude where air was thinner and the air within the balloon would expand to try to compensate for the difference in pressure.


Does air pressure increase or decrease as you go higher?

decrease
