Pressure is defined as
amount of force over a given area
amount of matter in given volume
a push or a pull
vertical height above Earth’s surface
Density is defined as
amount of force over a given area
amount of matter in given volume
a push or a pull
vertical height above Earth’s surface
Altitude is defined as
amount of force over a given area
amount of matter in given volume
a push or a pull
vertical height above Earth’s surface
As altitude increases, density
increases
decreases
stays the same
