How does atmospheric pressure varies with altitude and fluid pressure varies with the depth of water?

Solution

Dear student,. Atmospheric pressure is reduced as we climb up in altitude and the weight of air above you decreases. Under water, the pressure exerted on us increases with increasing depth.regards
