Question

Atmospheric pressure always decreases with height

Answer 1

Answer:

Atmospheric pressure always decreases with height is a TRUE statement.

Explanation:

• As the air rises up to high altitudes, the action of condensation and contraction takes place owing to the decreasing temperature with increasing height.
• Moreover, the air packets move downwards when they become heavy after accumulating moisture from the atmosphere creating cavities at high altitudes.
• Also, the absence of weight that the air needs to stay at heights is responsible for low atmospheric pressures at high elevations.
