They pop because the air pressure around your body changes when you rise or fall within the atmosphere. If you suddenly rise thousands of feet, then you will have less air pressure around you. The air inside your head will no longer be forced to stay inside, and a little bit will come out. When sinking downward, a vacuum will form in your head and a little air will be sucked inside to make up for the vacuum, causing them to pop in reverse. Your ears will also pop if you drive from sea level to the mountains, since you are going thousands of feet higher in this case also.
