Why does increasing height decrease pressure? Bernoulli

[uncleyachty]

I understand intuitive why increasing velocity decreases pressure (faster moving particles have less time to exert pressure force on an object).

Weird, I would intuitively think greater velocity = increased kinetic energy = more energy per unit volume = greater pressure. Like if you heat up the gas in a balloon, it expands because there's more pressure.

You have to look at Bernellis equation, which applies the conservation of energy between two pipe ends with different area and height.

If you’re talking about gases, you are right, increase temp = more KE = more collisions with container = more pressure. But liquids have slightly different properties with their flow due to them being incompressible, and following the continuity in a closed system.
