Question

Why atmospheric pressure is highest at the sea level and decreases in the mountainous regions?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helped

Explanation:

As the pressure increases, the particles in air are pushed closer together. As the pres- sure decreases, the particles move farther apart. ... At the top of Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain, air pressure is one-third of what it is at sea level.

Answer 2

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.

So, as we go up at higher altitude the pressure decreases.
