Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface. The higher up you go, the thinner the air becomes. Thinner air means less density and/or less pressure. This is the reason passenger airplanes need to have "pressurized cabins". Fighter jet pilots also need to wear pressurized suits and have a supply of oxygen on-board.
Hope this helps!
What else can I help you with?
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above earths surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What happens to air pressure as you move away from earths surface?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from Earth's surface. This is because the weight of air above you becomes less as you move higher in the atmosphere, resulting in lower air pressure at higher altitudes.
The atmospheric pressure near the earths surface does what?
It decreases as you move away from the earth surface
What happens to pressure as you move outward from earths interior?
Pressure decreases as you move outward from Earth's interior. This decrease is due to the weight of the rock layers above exerting less force as you move towards the surface. The pressure gradient is part of the reason why we have different layers within the Earth.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
What happens to air pressure as you move higher above the earth surface?
The air is thinner the higher you go.
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
Explain what hppens to air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
Pressure increases as you get closer to earth.
How Does a plate move on the earths surface?
A few centimeters a year.
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
How do molecules change the air pressure as you move away from the earths surface?
As you move away from the Earth's surface, the density of air molecules decreases, leading to a decrease in air pressure. At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules pushing down on a given area, causing the pressure to drop. This is why air pressure is lower at higher altitudes compared to sea level.
