Which option correctly states the relation between height and air pressure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Air pressure decreases with height
The governing concept is atmospheric pressure, which is the force exerted by the weight of air above a location. As height increases, the air column above becomes shorter and lighter, so pressure generally decreases. Therefore option A is correct. Pressure does not always rise, it is related to height, and it exists over land as well as oceans, so B, C and D are incorrect.
