Air pressure decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. Air, just like any form of matter has mass, and when affected by earth's gravity, weight. The weight of air is pushing down on you with a force of 1 atmosphere at sea level. As you increase elevation the air pressure is reduced because there is less air to push down on you. Just like air, water pressure increases as you increase your depth in it, or any fluid. When air pressure decreases, temperature drops.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to pressure when force decreases?
If force decreases, pressure decreases as well. Pressure is directly proportional to force, so when force decreases, the pressure exerted by the force also decreases.
What happens to air pressure when density decreases?
density decreases as air pressure increases
What happens to the pressure of a gas if the pressure is decreased?
decreases
What happens to air pressure as you rise?
It decreases!!
What happens to flow when pressure is increased?
Pressure decreases.
If the density of air decreases what happens to the pressure?
increases
What happens to filtrate volume when systemic blood pressure is decreased?
Filtrate volume decreases when systemic blood pressure decreases.
What happens to air pressure when you move from the troposphere to the stratosphere?
air pressure decreases
What happens to the atmosheric pressure when the height above the surface of earth increases?
Pressure decreases
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What happens to the fluid speed and the pressure between the two boats?
The speed increases and the pressure decreases.
What happens to air pressure as you move from the base of a mountain to the of a mountain?
it decreases
