Air density decreases and the output (power) of your vehicles engine accordingly decreases as the engine cannot pack as much air into the cyclinders to burn the fuel.
And there are other effects - air pressure decreases rather quickly with height (ACTUAL air pressure, not the number on the weather report which is extrapolated down to sea level) because there is less pull from gravity as you move away from Earth. Take dry air from the surface and push it skyward and because the air pressure drops, the temperature also drops (less pressure and the air expands, causing it to cool off). The air temperature will drop about 9.8 degrees Celsius every kilometer. And some effects, like from the 1st paragraph, you wouldn't think of. For instance, lower air pressure means water boils at a lower temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the human body when going up in altitude?
at altitude amount of red blood cells increases . [fatima]
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, the rate of change of air pressure decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to a more gradual decrease in pressure with increasing altitude.
What will happen to the atmospheric pressure as the altitude increases?
Atmospheric pressure will decrease as altitude increases.
What happens to the altitude of polaris as you move west?
The angle of Polaris above the northern horizon increases.
In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
What happens to your planes altitude if you do a chandelle?
Altitude increases.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What happens to the density of air as you increases in altitude?
the density decreases
When altitude increases what happens to the freezing point of fresh water?
it rises
What happens to the human body when going up in altitude?
at altitude amount of red blood cells increases . [fatima]
What happens as the altitude of the sun increases?
As the altitude of the sun increases, the intensity of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface increases, leading to higher temperatures. This can result in warmer weather and more direct sunlight which is why midday tends to be the warmest part of the day.
In the troposphere and mesosphere what happens to temperature as altitude increases?
In the troposphere, temperature typically decreases with increasing altitude due to the adiabatic cooling effect. In the mesosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to absorption of solar radiation by ozone molecules.
What happens to temperature as altitude increases in the exosphere?
In the exosphere, temperature increases with altitude. This is because the few particles in this layer can absorb large amounts of solar radiation, leading to higher temperatures the higher you go.
WHAT Is the difference between stratosphere and mesosphere?
The stratosphere's temperature increases as altitude increases. The mesosphere's temperature decreases as it's altitude increases. This is helpful
What happens to the air pressure as altitude increases in the mesosphere?
When altitude increases...the air pressure decreases:)) Hope this helped alittle bit=] Thank yuee fot your time!! Peace and luvv<3, <3Sissie<3
What happens to air as you climb a mountain?
as the altitude increases density of air decreases.This makes it harder to breath.
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, the rate of change of air pressure decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to a more gradual decrease in pressure with increasing altitude.
