(a) increases
(b) decreases
(c) remains same
(d) does not change​

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of force exerted over an area of surface is called atmospheric pressure or air pressure. ... As we go up the layers of the atmosphere, fewer air molecules are above us. So, there will be less weight of air above us. Hence, atmospheric pressure always decreases as we move upward in the atmosphere.
