Pressure decreases constantly with height. Eventually there are only a few molecules left to exert any pressure at the top of the atmosphere, which gradually transitions into space (a vacuum of zero pressure). So to answer your question, pressure is lowest at the highest altitude you have in mind.

Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?

The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.


How does altitude affect density and air pressure?

Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.


At what part of the earth's surface is the atmospheric pressure the minimum?

The tops of mountains have the consistently lowest air pressure, because density decreases with altitude. The simplest explanation is that there is "less air pushing down" when you are at a higher altitude.


How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?

The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.


What does air pressure do when altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.


How does air pressure change as altitude change?

Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.


Does air pressure change as altitude increases?

Yes, air pressure decreases as altitude increases.


How does altitude affect density and pressure?

Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air pressure decreases, so does density.


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.


How does air pressure vary with altitude?

Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This means that as you go higher in the atmosphere, the air pressure becomes lower.


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.


Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?

Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
