Temperature: When the temperature of a place increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. ... On the contrary, decrease in temperature makes the air cool and dense. This creates a high pressure area in a region. Altitude: Atmospheric pressure decreases with an increase in the altitude.

Answer:
Because of the compression, the lower layer of the atmosphere are denser and heavier than the upper layer, which are lighter and expansive. The average air pressure at sea level is high, but it goes on declining as the elevation increases. For every 900 feet of altitude, air pressure falls by 1 inch. Gravitational force of the Earth is mainly responsible for the decreasing air pressure with increasing altitude.
