What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?

From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.

What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Why is it cooler on the top of a mountain than on the bottom of a mountain?
because the air at the top of the mountain ha s a lot less oxygen in it at the bottom of it. also the air particles have less room to move then at the bottom of the mountain
Is air density greater at the top or the bottom of a mountain?
Bottom
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?
well a moutian if it is tall enough can reach the sky and air pressure their is 0
How does the air pressure change between the bottom of the mountain and its summit?
It is pressed by the bottom of the earths crust and pressured up to the top of the mountain and the mountain begins to break. It takes about 500 years to break.

When you drive down a mountain what makes your ears experience those uncomfortable sensations?
Your ears pop on a mountain when there's a difference in air pressure between your inner ear and the air outside. The air in your inner ear exchanges pretty slowly. And since the air is much thinner at the top of the mountain than it is near the bottom, if you go down quickly enough (like by driving) the pressures can't equalize gradually. The higher pressure air at the bottom of the mountain presses on your eardrums until they "pop" and the pressure equalizes. That can hurt!
Is air density greater at the top or the bottom of a mountain?
Bottom
Where is the air pressure greater at the bottom at the top of the mountain?
on the bottom of the mountainbeacause you are more below air level
Is air pressure the greatest at the top of a mountain?
no, at bottom
What should a person expect to happen to the air pressure as they move from the base of a mountain to the top of the mountain?
As you move from the bottom to the top of the mountain, the air pressure decreases.
Would the pressure be greater at the top of a mountain or at the bottom of it?
At the bottom. You can think of the air pressure at a given location as being the weight of all the air in a column above it. Thus, the higher you go, the less air there is above you, and thus the lower the air pressure. In the extreme, when you rise out of the athmosphere, there is no air above you at all, and the air pressure is effectively zero - a vacuum. Air pressure is greater at the bottom of a mountain.

How do the processes of mountain pass affect the land form temperatures?
Because the air in the mountain is thinner than the bottom.
Why is the air pressure lower at the top of a mountain than at the bottom of the mountain?
As you increase in altitude above the planet, there are fewer molecules. One way to think of this is that at the top of the mountain, there are fewer molecules "above you pushing down on you."because the is less air at the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain
