Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A 1 millibar/altitude of 10 meters
Near Earth's surface the pressure decreases with height at a rate of about 1 millibars for every 10 metres. However, over cold air the decrease in pressure can be much steeper because its density is greater than warmer air.
