Water pressure at the bottom of a water column changes with the height of the water above it because of the mass of the water above the bottom of the column....the more water, the greater the mass, the more pressure exerted at the bottom of the column.

∙ 10y agoThe air pressure you experience now is eesntiall the wieght of all of the air on top of you. As you go higher in elevation, you go above some of that air. Less wight of air on tom of you means less air pressure.

∙ 13y agoit is actually true cause if you know water is very powerfull if you go soo far under you could be crushed or cause very bad injury so i wouildnt provide goingf deep sea diving and getting lost and wandering off by your self lol:P

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....
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
What is affected by surface elevation water vapor and temperature?
air pressure
How does the pressure change from Death Valley to the mountaintops?
the air pressure changes based on elevation
What must change for air pressure to change?
Your elevation above sea level or the weather passing over you.
Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?
No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.
What four things affect pressure?
Change in volume - container getting bigger or smaller with same amount of air; Change in temperature - air gets hotter or colder causing it to expand or contract; Change in density - air is pumped into or out of a fixed container.
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.
Why do we experience pain in our ears as you go up in a high place?
The pain in our ears due to elevation change is caused by unequal pressure inside our bodies and the air pressure outside. As you go higher in elevation air pressure drops, so the pressure inside our bodies is higher that the outside environment. This high pressure inside our bodies causes pain as our bodies seek to regain equal air pressure with that of the environment by releasing air out of our ears; that is also why many people experience popping ears as they undergo dramatic elevation changes.
Can an aneroid barometer measure elevation 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.

How does the atmosphere change or stay the same with elevation?
The actual atmosphere itself does not change with elevation, but the atmospheric pressure does.
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
What is the relationship between elevation and air pressure?
the sky
