The higher the elevation the lower the air pressure. Sea level is considered the standard for air pressure measurement.

Why is air pressure on a high mountain is less than on the lowland?
air pressure on the high mountain is because air flow is fast or velocity of air is more on the high mountain
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Air pressure is lower at the top of a mountain than at sea level?
Yes.
Does air have more or less pressure than still air?
Yes, it has more pressure than still air because it has a greater force.
Why is air pressure on a high mountain is less than on the lowland?
air pressure on the high mountain is because air flow is fast or velocity of air is more on the high mountain
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.
Which would have more air pressure on a mountain or in a valley and why?
A mountain because the higher in air you go the more higher air pressure gets. this is not part of the anwser but, G-force is pressure on arollar coaster when u get higher.
Air pressure decreases as?
Air pressure decreases as height is gained. There is less air pressure at the top of a high mountain, than at sea level.
Why is the level of air pressure less at the top of a mountain than it is at sea level?
Air is denser at lower altitudes and less dense at higher altitudes. If the bottom of the valley is directly below the mountain, at a lower altitude, then there is technically more air in the valley.
Why is air masses greater on top of mountain?
because the air pressure is more dense
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Is ther more air pressure at the top of a mountain or a beach?
beach
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Why is it colder on top of a mountain than it is at a beach?
The air on the mountaintop is at lower pressure.
Air pressure is lower at the top of a mountain than at sea level?
Yes.
Does air have more or less pressure than still air?
Yes, it has more pressure than still air because it has a greater force.
