are more

C

are less

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
At some point the atmosphere pressure is equal to the weight the column of air from that point the top of the atmosphere over area of the transverse intersected of that point. The hydrostatic pressure caused I the weight of the air above measuring point closely parp inmates the atmospheric pressure When elevation increases, the a mass becomes less overlying meaning that atmospheric press decreases with elevation increasing
