Front

What happens to air pressure as you go higher in altitude?

Back

Air pressure decreases as you go higher in altitude.

Front

What is the relationship between air pressure and oxygen availability at high altitudes?

Back

At high altitudes, lower air pressure means there is less oxygen available.

Front

What is the definition of air pressure?

Back

Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a surface.

Front

What happens to air pressure when descending from a mountain?

Back

Air pressure increases when descending from a mountain.
