value: due to the diminishing mass of gas
type: CAUSE
value: according to the following relationship
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: Since atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, a barometer can also serve as an altimeter if appropriately calibrated.
text: Therefore, atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
text: As elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation.
text: Therefore, atmospheric pressure always decreases with increasing height according to the following relationship (only a first-order approximation):
text: Therefore, atmospheric pressure always decreases with increasing height.
text: Therefore, atmospheric pressure always decreases with increasing height.
text: Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the diminishing mass of gas above.
text: Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the diminishing mass of gas above.
text: Likewise, as elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation.
