- decreases as altitude increases
- results from a column of air pushing on an area
- decreases due to fewer air particles pushing down
Pressure is the force exerted, by a substance, per unit area.
Explanation:
Pressure is given by the formulae;
P = F/ A
Whereby;
P = pressure
F = Force
A = area
Remember that ..
F = Ma
Whereby;
F = Force
M = mass
a = acceleration
Therefore pressure can be given as;
P = Ma / A
The mass of the above column of a substance multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity = pressure exerted by the substance.

Answer:
Antibiotics disrupt essential processes or structures in the bacterial cell. This either kills the bacterium or slows down bacterial growth. Depending on these effects an antibiotic is said to be bactericidal or bacteriostatic.
