Question

Which is higher–the atmospheric pressure at Mumbai or the atmospheric pressure on top of Mt Everest? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Atmospheric pressure at Mumbai would be higher. Because atmospheric pressure is higher at the surface of the earth and goes on decreasing as we move up into the earth's atmosphere. Mount Everest is a very high peak. That's why the pressure at the Mount Everest would be lower and pressure at the Mumbai would be higher.
