Question

State True or False.

As the vertical height from mean sea level increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Pressure decreases with increase in altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
