What happens to air pressure when the temperature drops?

When air pressure drops temperature also drops. Thus on high mountains low air pressure is accompanied by low temperature. This is true for high atmosphere also.


Does Mars have Air pressure?

Yes, it has an atmosphere so it has air pressure.


As you rise further in the atmosphere air pressure does what?

The higher you go in the atmosphere the lower the air pressure becomes...


As an airplane flies higher in the air what happens to the atmosphere outside the plane?

It gets thinner (the pressure drops) and colder.


How dos wind start?

Wind happens when there is a change in pressure in the atmosphere which causes air to rush to the lower pressure area, thus causing wind.


How does air pressure change as you move up in the atmosphere?

the air pressure increases


How does air pressure change as you move up the atmosphere?

the air pressure increases


As rising in atmosphere air pressure increases?

No. Air pressure decreases as you move up in the atmosphere. This is because air has mass and weight like everything else, and as you rise up in the atmosphere there is less air above you.


What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?

The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.


Why does air in the atmosphere move?

Temperature differences is why air moves in the atmosphere. Hot air rises, cold air falls. With these temperature difference comes pressure differences and these temp. and pressure differences are what keep the air moving. Theoretically, if there were no temp. or pressure differences in the atmosphere, air would not move.


Does air pressure change with altitude?

The higher up you are the lesser the air pressure in the atmosphere.


How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?

The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
