Answer:
Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing 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.

Answer:
The given statement is true.
Explanation:
Pressure is defined as force per unit area. With an increase in altitudes, the amount of gases decreases, which makes air less dense as compared to the air at ground or sea level that has higher concentrations of air.
Therefore, this decrease in the amount of air applies less atmospheric pressure at greater altitudes than air at lower altitudes or sea levels.
