No, air pressure decreases with altitude because the density of air molecules is lower at higher elevations. This reduction impacts breathing and weather patterns significantly.

What does air pressure do when altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.


What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?

Air pressure.


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.


When you get higher what happens to air pressure?

As you increase in altitude, the air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, the fewer air molecules are present above you, leading to lower pressure. In general, air pressure decreases by about 1 atmosphere for every 10,000 feet increase in altitude.


What happens to the density of air molecules as you increase in altitude?

As you increase in altitude, the density of air molecules decreases. This is because the air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, leading to a lower concentration of air molecules in a given volume of space.


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.


How does the density of the air affect pressure?

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


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.


Does altitude increase if air pressure increases?

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.


How is it that the altitude decrease and the density of the air does what?

Altitude decreases, pressure increase, temperature decreases (some, but less effect than pressure), density goes up.


Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?

Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface


What changes in air pressure would you expect if you carried a barometer a mine shaft?

Density and air pressure will increase, while altitude decreases.
