Question

Give Reason:-
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases whereas liquid pressure increases with depth. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels. ... Since most of the atmosphere's molecules are held close to the earth's surface by the force of gravity, air pressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.
