What else can I help you with?
What will happen to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude increases?
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
Is the pressure in an airplane at high altitude high or low?
If the airplane's cabin is not "pressurized" then it will have low atmospheric pressure. That means the air is thinner. The air is less dense. The molecules in the air are farther apart. At lower altitudes the air is compressed and made denser since the molecules are shoved closer together, and you get more of them in each lung full you breathe. If you blow up a balloon on the ground and then take it 10,000 feet in the air, the air trapped inside the balloon will expand because it wants to match the density of the air around it, and air is less dense the higher up in the atmosphere you go. P.S. This is why pilots of non-pressurized airplanes wear oxygen masks when they fly high. The air above 10,000 (or 14,000, or something like that) has too few molecules of oxygen for each lungful of air you suck in.
Which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude?
When standard atmospheric conditions exist.
Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?
The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases
What is the property of matter that is dependent to altitude?
The property of matter that is dependent on altitude is atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in the weight of the air above. This decrease in pressure affects various aspects of the environment, such as boiling points of liquids and gas behavior.
Why do airplanes need to be pressurized?
Airplanes need to be pressurized because the atmospheric pressure, at such a high altitude, acts upon your body. Your body is trying to adjust to maintain equal pressure, causing your ears pop. Because your body cannot maintain equal pressure by itself, the airplane makes up for the rest of the pressure that is needed to equalize the atmospheric pressure.
Does atmospheric pressure increase with altitude?
No, atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.
Which airplane instrument is really just a barometer?
An altimeter is sensitive to atmospheric pressure and can show the altitude of the aircraft based on the change in atmospheric pressure from the aircraft ascending and descending. Likewise, a barometer, is sensitive to atmospheric pressure.
Where would a person experience the least atmospheric pressure?
A person would experience the least atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, such as on top of a mountain or in an airplane flying at high altitude.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
Can you use your hdd camcorder on an airplane?
Yes. Hard disk's do have some limitations of use at altitude, but those are generally related to atmospheric pressure at altitude. Since an airplane cabin is pressurized equivalent to 8000ft, the cabin of an airplane is still within the operating limits of hard drives (generally below 9500 ft). Whether or not the flight attendants will think you are a terrorist and take your camcorder is another story.
Is the air pressure in a flying airplane greater that outside the flying airplane?
In a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude, the air pressure inside the airplane is considerably higher than the air pressure outside. The air pressure outside is too low for people to breathe comfortably, so the interior is pressurized.
What will happen to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude increases?
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
Does pressure increase as you are increasing altitude?
No. Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
What instrument is used is normally used to measure atmospheric pressure?
A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can also measure altitude!

Does pressure decrease with altitude?
Yes, pressure decreases with altitude. As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
