The pressure drops with altitude. More quickly at first, but more gradually the higher you go. If plotted on a graph, you would get a curve.

What does air pressure do when altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.


As the altitude increases does the barometric pressure increase or decrease?

As altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases. This is because the air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, as there are fewer air molecules in the atmosphere exerting pressure on a given area.


Does air pressure change as altitude increases?

Yes, air pressure decreases as altitude increases.


How does air pressure changes altitude increases?

It decreases. Air pressure is simply the pressure of all the other air on top of it. As you increase in elevation, there is less air on top of you. Therefore, the air pressure is less. As your altitude decreases, there is more air on top of you, therefore, the air pressure increases. Same with water. As you descend, water pressure increases. More on top of you.


What happens to air pressure as the altitude of the layers of th e atmosphere increase?

The temperature decreases


How does the density of the air affect pressure?

Pressure affects the density of air by increase of pressure increases the density


Is it true air pressure increases as altitude increases?

No


What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, the less air there is above you pressing down. The decrease in pressure with altitude follows a logarithmic pattern, with the rate of decrease slowing down the higher you go.


Does pressure increase or decrease with altitude?

Because as you climb higher there is less air above you pressing down on you with its weight.


As altitude increases how does air pressure change?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because the weight of the air above becomes less as altitude increases, leading to lower air pressure. At higher altitudes, there are fewer air molecules pushing down on a given area, resulting in lower pressure.


What does air pressure do as altitudes?

Air pressure increases as altitude decreases.


As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?

No, as altitude increases in the Troposphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the Troposphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs, and the temperature decreases with altitude due to the decrease in air pressure and thinning of the air molecules that can store heat.
