As your altitude increases within the Earth's atmosphere, air pressure **decreases** and the amount of oxygen **decreases**.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, that is correct! As altitude increases in Earth's atmosphere, both air pressure and the amount of oxygen decrease. This is because the density of the air decreases with altitude, leading to lower pressure and a reduction in the number of oxygen molecules available for breathing.
