Does the atmospheric pressure increase or decrease as you move upward away from sea level?

The pressure will decrease, fall, as your altitude increases. No it would not it would increase above sea level


Will the atmospheric pressure be more at the sea level or on a hill?

In general, on a hill. However, there are hills in places like Death Valley that are lower than sea level, so there are exceptions. This answer does not take other meteorological conditions into account. Barometric pressure at sea level in a hurricane can be much lower than on a hill miles away.


Do the wind move toward the high pressure area or away from it?

Away. The high pressure pushes the winds away outwards.


How would the growth of a plant be affected if it were lying on its side?

The plant will still grow upward away from gravity


What happens to the mountains and deep valleys that makes the earth's surface uneven?

The valleys cut their way down to sea level and as this happens the mountains get eroded away to (by rain, ice and wind). The end stage is that the flatish land surface becomes almost level with the high tide of the sea. However the sediments eroded away get deposited on the ocean deeps and when the continents crash together again these form new mountains.

What happens to air pressure as its moves away from earth?

It decreases as you move away from Earth. Close to Earth's surface, the air pressure (and density) decrease by a factor of 2, every 5 kilometers or so.


What is a loud?

At the ear of the kissing person there could be measured a sound pressure level of 80 dBSPL. At the ear of a listener far away the level must be less. We got the distance law 1/r for the sound pressure.


How does atmospheric pressure change as you move up away from sea level?

as you move up from sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases. At higher elevations, theres less air above you so therefor less air pressure. When the air pressure outside your body decreases, the air pressure inside also decreases (slowly).
