Where is the air pressure greater-at sea level or on a mountaintop?
Air pressure is Greater at sea level.Atmospheric pressure is higher at sea level. There is more atmosphere on top of the observer at that point, so the pressure is higher.
Where is there more air pressure sea level or at the top of a mountain?
At sea level
Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?
The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases
Is the altitude greater at the top of a mountain?
A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.
Where is air pressure weakest?
The lower you go into the sea level, the greater the air pressure. The higher you go above the sea level, the lower the air pressure.
Where is the air pressure greater at the bottom at the top of the mountain?
on the bottom of the mountainbeacause you are more below air level
Why Poes water on top of a mountain boil at a lower temperature than at sea level?
It is the effect of air pressure. The air pressure at the top of a mountain is less than the air pressure at sea level. The effect of air pressure on a water surface is to prevent or oppose water molecules escaping from the surface. The greater the air pressure, the more heat energy is needed to allow the water molecules to escape and so at sea level the water will boil at a higher temperature than if it were on top of a mountain.

How does the atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It is greater.
Where is the air pressure the greatest at sea level or on a mountain?
sea level
Where is there more air pressure sea level or at the top of a mountain?
At sea level
Where is air pressure the highest sea level or atop a mountain?
Sea level
Is air pressure greater at sea level or on top of a mountain?
Air pressure is greater at sea level because there is more air above that is pressing down. Any atmosphere is more dense at the surface of the planet than at locations higher in altitude. (Areas that are lower than sea level will generally have still higher atmospheric pressure.)

The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases
Is the altitude greater at the top of a mountain?
A mountain top is higher (greater) in altitude. That is the definition of altitude : height above a surface, or above sea level.
If you were on a mountain would the weight of the air above be greater than or less than it is at sea level?
That would depend where you are. The weight of air above you is greater at sea level than up a mountain, but if you were in a plane it might well be less than up a mountain.
Why is air pressure greater at sea level than at the of a mountain?
This is based on gravity and the density of the gas particles. At sea level the gas molecules are stacked several miles deep and due to gravity press downward towards the ground. On top of a mountain, however, there are fewer gas molecules stacked on top of each other, so the air pressure is lower.
