The price of the rice is extremely important for multiple reasons, with the most important ones being:

- the number of people that use it as primary food source;

The rice is the primary food source for around half of the worlds population, with most of East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, using it as a primary food source. Considering the amount of people that use it on a daily basis as a basis for most of the meals, a reasonable and affordable price is crucial.

- the economic situation of the people that use it;

The regions in which the rice is used as primary food source vary in their economic standard, but the fact is that at least two thirds of the people using it daily are either poor, or can not afford another more expensive product as a primary food source. In order to avoid starvation of the people, the price has to be kept at a relatively low and affordable level.

How does altitude impact atmospheric pressure? As altitude decreases, atmospheric pressure decreases As altitude increases, atmo
Tasya [4]

Answer: As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure P is defined as the force F per unit area S the air that forms the atmosphere exerts on the Earth's surface:

P=\frac{F}{S}

It should be noted that as the altitude increases less air is above and, therefore the air weights less. This is because the atmosphere losses density as we ascend, causing less air.

However, it is important to point out this decrease in pressure is not linear, since at the beginning (in the first kilometers above sea level) it reduces more rapidly than in the next kilometers above. That is why this relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude is exponential.
