What happens to the air density when climbing mountains?

Density Reduces as we climb to a higher altitude


What happens to air pressure when the altitude goes up?

When the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases (or "GOES DOWN") and vice versa. This is due to the fact that air is affected by gravity, therefore there is more of it at a lower altitude than at a higher altitude.


Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?

the higher you are the more the density decreases


What happen to the air pressure in a higher altitude?

The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.


Does fast moving air have lower or higher pressure?

it has higher pressure when air rises and air decreases it forms air pressure


What happens if you faint for no reason?

their must be a reason. the air probually couldn't get to your head or your blood preassure dropped rapidly.


Is air denser at higher levels?

No. Air density decreases with altitude.


What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?

The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.


What happens to air pressure as you go to altitude?

It drecrease


Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?

Yes; the pressure and temperature decreases with higher altitude.


Is the temperature cooler in low altitude or higher altitude?

There is ever-so-slightly less... but good luck measuring that tiny difference!Altitude is the point at which an item sits in relation to sea or ground level.


Why are airplanes faster at high altitude?

Higher altitude air is less dense. Less density means less air; less air means less friction, and less friction means a higher speed.
