Altitude is a measurement of an objects distance above another body. Air Pressure Is a measurement of the flux potential accumulated at any given point of a wave-partical plane over a given time.

∙ 7y agoAir pressure is a measure of the mass of air above you. As the atmosphere is of fixed thickness and is made of compressible gasses, as you ascend in altitude the mass of air above you will decrease.
This means as you ascend in altitude, the air pressure will decrease and vice versa.

What would you use to measure the elevation above sea level on air temperature and air pressure?
elevation above sea level . . . barometer or GPS air temperature . . . thermometer air pressure . . . barometer
Why can an aneroid barometer be used as an as altimeter?
The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.
Why can an aneroid barometer measure elevations as well as air pressure?
The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.
What decreases as air rises that allows it to expand?
As you go up in elevation, the local air pressure drops, because there is less air above you to push Dow (gravity) to produce the pressure. Less pressure allows the air to expand.
What is atmospheric air?
Pressure caused by the atmoshere pushing down.it also deceases as you get higher up in elevation... Pressure caused by the atmoshere pushing down.it also deceases as you get higher up in elevation...
Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?
No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.

There are molecules of air at high elevation's so air pressure is less?
To fill in the blank, there are FEWER molecules of air at high elevation....

What is the relationship between elevation and air pressure?
the sky
Which of these have an effect on air pressure?
temperature humidity and elevation
What types of air pressure systems are there?
Three types of air pressure are temperature water vapor elevation

Does the sea have more air pressure than the mountain?
The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.
Does elevation effect air pressure how?
aout the high
