Question

Which of the following is not true of atmospheric pressure?
・It is greatest at sea level
・It reduces at height increases
・It is equal in all directions
・It increases as height increases​

Answer 1

Answer:

It increases as height increases​

Explanation:

The given question asks for the incorrectly stated statement. We know that Air Pressure is greatest at sea level. This is because in seas we have more air pressure that compresses us. So, there we deal with both air pressure and sea level pressure.

coming down to second statement which states that it reduces as height increases, and this statement is also true. As we are aware of the fact that the higher we go, the fewer air molecules are present to compress us. So air pressure happens to be comparatively low in the higher altitudes.

Now let's see what next statement states. It states that the air pressure is equal in all directions. this statement is also true, as we know that is the very reason why we can sit at one place or even stand so comfortably without flying away or falling. so, this statement is also true.  

INTERESTING!!

The next statement completely contradicts our knowledge and belief that atmospheric pressure. reduces at height increases. So, the only statement that is false is, this one.
