The pressure will decrease, fall, as your altitude increases. No it would not it would increase above sea level

The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?
The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Gravity exactly balances the upward pressure gradient force. Since atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height, an earth without gravity would cause a strong wind upward, allowing air to rush out to space.
How will the distance in an object move be related to it's original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.
How air pressure is a factor for predicting weather?
In general High Pressure promotes atmospheric stablity (clear sunny weather) and warmer temperatures, while Low Pressure promotes atmospheric instablity (storminess) and somewhat cooler temperatures. In low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a counterclockwise direction and moves upward. This promotes cloud formation cooler temps and sometimes storms. In high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere air rotates in a clockwise direction and moves downward (subsidence). This inhibits cloud formation and usually increases temperatures.
What happens to air pressure when you move upward away from sea level?
The farther up away you are from sea level the less air pressure there is.
What creates the force that pulls water vapor from the ocean surface upward into the center of the hurricane?
The low pressure inside the hurricane is what ultimately produces it. The low pressure in a hurricane pulls air inward. As this air converges it is then force upward. There it becomes warmer than its surroundings and rises due to its own buoyancy.
Does potential energy decrease with height?
if the body is moving upward its potential energy would decrease as its kinetic energy would increase
When a person drinks a soft drink through a straw where does the force came from that causes the soft drink to move upward?
Atmospheric pressure
What will shift the consumption level upward?
Factors such as an increase in disposable income, a decrease in the price of goods and services, changes in consumer preferences towards a particular product, or an increase in consumer confidence can shift the consumption level upward.
If a graph curves upward how does that affect the speed of an object?
This entirely depends on what the graph is charting, but generally, an upward curve reflects an increase in some quantity like distance or acceleration and is a positive correlation with speed increase. However, it could be an increase of resistance or friction, which would decrease speed.
Why does a bubble grow and move faster as it ascends?
Atmospheric pressure at ground level is higher than at a greater altitude, therefore as the bubble rises the atmospheric pressure on it's surface decreases creating less of a squashing effect on the bubble, making it expand. The impetus for it's upward climb is that the warm air from your lungs is less dense and therefore is forced upwards by the cooler external air. As atmospheric pressure reduces at greater altitude the bubble becomes less dense, accelerating it's upward climb. The reduction in pressure decreases and the bubble continues to expand until it's molecular bonds become strained and the bubble bursts.
How will the distance an object moves be related to it original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.

When the diaphragm contracts does lung volume increase or decrease?
The downward contraction of the diaphragm (below the lungs) decreases the pressure within the lungs by expanding the thoracic cavity. The lungs sag into the cavity, and outside air flows into the lungs.The contraction of the diaphragm allows the person (or animal) to inhale air. When the diaphragm relaxes, it pushes upward on the lungs and exhalation occurs.
When an object falls freely the kinetic energy of the object will?
It will decrease if the object moves upward; decrease if the object moves downward.
When body is thrown in upward direction then what will happen about kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy will be decrease because when the body thrown in upward direction the gravitation force will be act in opposite direction which reduce the velocity.so the velocity will decrease.
What causes the lava to be forced upward?
pressure
