the air pressure would increase because the amount of atmosphere above you increases

Density and air pressure will increase, while altitude decreases.

Can a barometer be used as an altimeter?
With a little modification yes. The principals of design for the Barometer and Altimeter are the same. A sealed capsule expands and contracts with changes in air pressure, this movement is then changed to the movement of a dial to get a scaled reading. However the Barometer would need its scale changing to read in terms of altitude. This would allow a rudimentary calculation of altitude, however as the air pressure changes, the altitude read on the scale would change. The Altimeter as used in aircraft also has a small thumb wheel or turntable knob that allows you to set the air pressure to the air pressure of the ground. This makes the scale more accurate, and negates any changes in air pressure.
Matter changes state because of?
Matter changes state because of temperature and pressure. These quantities bring change.
Gases do not have definite?
Gases are highly compressible. So they don't have definite volume and pressure. As volume is reduced for a given mass pressure increases. Also as temperature changes then at constant volume pressure changes considerably. Same way for a constant pressure temperature change brings a change in the volume. Moreover gasses do not have a free surface.
A blown up balloon is carried up a high mountain will it get bigger or smaller explain why its volume changes?
As balloons increase in altitude, there is less atmospheric pressure pushing on it, so the result is that the balloon expands. The opposite is true, if you sink a balloon in water there is more pressure on the outside of the balloon so it shrinks.
What is the laboratory air pressure in ATM?
The air pressure changes based on altitude, but at sea level, it is 1 atm, or 760mmHg, or 760Torr.

What does rapid changes in the barometer mean?
a barometer calculates changes in air pressure. so if it has a rapid change, im guessing it has just been a "rapid" change in air pressure
What dobarometers measure?
A barometer - measures changes in atmospheric pressure.
What is the tool that records air pressure changes?
Barometer is the instrument that measures air pressure
Why does Mercury stay in the barometer?
A barometer is a closed-system vacuum that allows the mercury to expand with changes in temperature and pressure.
What is a mercury barometer used for?
Mercury barometer is used for measuring atmospheric pressure. Because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude.
What is barometric pressure measured by?
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure to determine weather or altitude changes.
What has an airtight metal chamber that is sensitive to changes is air pressure?
Aneroid barometer is an airtight metal chamber that is sensitive to changes in air pressure
Why does the height of the column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?
As the atmospheric pressure changes, the force pushing on the surface of the liquid changes. Therefore,the height of the liquid in the tube increases as the atmospheric pressure increases.
Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?
You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.
