Pressure depends mainly upon the weight of fluids (like air or water) that is above you, being pulled downward by gravity. When you go up, there is less fluid above you and less pressure; when you go down, there is more fluid above you pushing down and more pressure.

Can sweets make your blood pressure go up?

What happens to temperature as you go higher in the troposphere?
the temp goes down, the winds go up, and the pressure goes up...
Why mercury go down and up suddenly in a thermometer?
Depending on Atmospheric Pressure
Why would the oil pressure gauge on a 2005 Nissan Xterra drop at idle after it's warmed up?
oil pressure normally will go up and down with rms for the most part. when the motor is cold there is more oil pressure as the oil and motor get warmed up the oil thins out and the pressure goes down.
Why do your ears pop when you go up or down a hill?
It has to do with air pressure. Whenever there is a big difference between the air pressure inside your ears and outside your ears the ear drum expands or contracts to try to even out the pressure. This causes popping.
Which way do you adjust the pressure adjustment screw on most pressure regulators to lower the psi?
Screw down = pressure up. Screw up = pressure down.
What does air pressure decrease as?
The atmosphere is of finite thickness so:-The higher up you are the less air there is above you to press down on you The nearer you are to sea level (or below sea level) the more are there is above you to press down on you. Thus as altitude decreases (you go towards sea level) the pressure will go up, not down.
As altitude decreases air pressure does what?

Does pressure decrease or increase in the ocean?
Pressure increases as you go down.
Will full synthetic oil on 2000 1500 ram 5.9 cause oil pressure go up and down?
No, it will not cause that.
What is the influence of color on blood pressure?
If someone is exposed to bright/vibrant colors, such as red or yellow, their blood pressure might go up. But if someone is exposed to cool/sad colors, such as blue or green, their blood pressure might go down.
