The following changes are average changes, which means there might be exceptions more or less as we rise upward. But in general as elevation increases, on average:
Temperature decreases
Atm pressure decreases
Wind velocity increases
Gamma radiation increases
Overhead turns black
More and more stars are seen
Shape of the planet as a sphere becomes obvious

∙ 10y agoAs your elevation increases the air temperature will drop on the average of 2 degrees C (3.5 degrees F) per 1000 feet.
In addition, oxygen levels decrease to the point at about 8000 ft MSL (above mean sea level) you will start to notice it. At above 12,500 feet MSL pilots are required to use supplement oxygen, and above 18,000 feet MSL all occupants of an aircraft must use oxygen. Lack of oxygen will lead to Hypoxia and unltimately death.

When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
Temperature vs elevation?
As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.
How does butter change density of liquid milk?
it increases the fat content
Why does oxygen content decrease in water left stagnant over several days?
As the water is poured into the glass, some oxygen dissolves in it. If the water doesn't move, the oxygen slowly diffuses out of it. If you were to pour in the water in a vacuum and then removed the vacuum and left the water stagnant, there would be no oxygen content decrease.
As elevation increases this becomes thinner?
"air" and/or "oxygen"
If your elevation is increases and oxygen decreasing of what other gas is there more of?
If your elevation increases, not only does oxygen decrease but all gasses decrease. The greater distance you are from the earth's surface you are, the less air there is. When there is less air, there is less oxygen. No other gas increases to make up for the loss of oxygen.
When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
What elevation increases oxygen content?
It is at sea level. The higher you climb from sea level, to reach the summit of Mount Everest (for example), the less oxygen is in the very thin air. This is why the majority of climbers of Mount Everest have to carry oxygen cylinders. Someone occasionally achieves the summit without oxygen tanks! Therefore, the higher the altitude, the thinner the oxygen in the air.
Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?
No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.
Why is there a venous reserve of oxygen in the blood?
Venous reserve is available to maintain tissue oxygenation if either systemic oxygen demand increases or arterial content falls.
What is relationship between temperature and elevation?
Temperature decreases as the elevation increases.
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
Is fire effected by elevation?
Yes. As elevation increases, combustion is more difficult to sustain, since each unit volume of gas contains less oxygen. Just like it is difficult for us to breathe at high altitude, so it is for a fire.
How does silica content and viscosity effect igneous rocks?
As silica content increases viscosity increases.
Does the percentage of Oxygen drop with elevation?
No. It changes negligably from the standard ~21% regardless of elevation. (at any elevation you can survive at anyway) :p The actual amount of available oxygen does change, due to a decrease in atmospheric density as elevation increases. For example: at 17,700ft (apparently a common Mt. Everest base camp) the air density is approximately 51% of the density at sea level. So you COULD express it as 51% of ~21%, which would be about 10.71%.
