Why do you think air pressure is greatest at the lowest part of the atmosphere?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

At sea level, air pressure is greatest because it is caused by the weight of the entire column of atmosphere at that altitude over that location. As altitude increases, the column of atmosphere gets shorter, and so less weight is pressing down at a given altitude, so atmospheric pressure is reduced.
