Question : In the Earth's atmosphere, which of the following continuously decreases with height?
Option 1: Temperature
Option 2: Humidity
Option 3: Pressure
Option 4: Wind Velocity
Correct Answer: Pressure
Solution : The correct answer is Pressure.
As altitude increases, pressure falls. The total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation can be interpreted as the pressure at any height in the atmosphere. There are fewer air molecules above a given surface at higher elevations than at lower heights, because of which there is less pressure at greater heights.
