Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Air pressure is greatest at sea level because there are more molecules of air pushing down from above.

Explanation:

The number of air molecules above a surface determines air pressure. As the number of molecules increases, they exert more pressure on a surface, and the total atmospheric pressure increases. By contrast, if the number of molecules decreases, so too does the air pressure.
