Hope it helps ❤️✌️❤️
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, airpressure decreases rapidly at first, then more slowly at higher levels.

The pressure was greatest at bottom and lowest at top!!!!
As atmospheric pressure depends upon density of atmosphere because with increasing density of air the atmospheric pressure also increased however, at increasing altitude the density of atmosphere decrease because earth gravitational force has pulled more as more air molecules near it. And when density of atmosphere is low at top therefore the atmospheric pressure is high at top.
I HOPE IT HELP!!
if it help mark as brainliest!
