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.
