Question

The atmospheric pressure ________ as we move towards higher altitudes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

increases is the correct answer

Answer 2

Yo!

Here's the answer! :)

The atmospheric pressure DECREASES,as we move towards higher altitudes.

This happens because:

The gravitational force between the molecules present at a lower height and the earth,is much moreeee than the molecules present at a higher altitude.

Also,the molecules present at a higher altitude,provide more compression to the ones present in lower altitude. This it's known fact that atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude,and decreases with increasing altitude. (Inverse of each other)

Hope it helps!
