Sea has the lowest latitude on the earth surface.
Since the denser air sinks, the denser air are located on the sea.
The dense air contains more air particles, which collide to each other and to other particles.
The bombardment of air particles causes higher average force exerted per unit area.
Higher force means higher pressure is exerted.

Why soft underinflated football at sea level much firmer when it is taken to a high elevation in the mountains?
The air inside the semi-deflated football is able to expand due to the lessening of air pressure in higher altitudes.
How do you get data on air pressure from high in the atmosphere?
If you have an instrument which has something to compare force with a column of air, such as a fluid, depending on the pressure air makes on that fluid you'll know what the air pressure is when you compare the same experiment done at sea level, where atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. If you were to use mercury for instance, at sea level, the distance the column of air makes the fluid move is 760 mm. The same fluid could be used to compare what distance it'll be at a higher altitude, where the air pressure is less. The mercury would move less than 760 though, that's a given, since the air pressue is less.
What is the air pressure on Mt Everest?
The air pressure on the summit of Mt Everest is about 30 kPa or 300 mbar. This is a third of the air pressure at sea level (1/3 of 1 atm).
Sea breeze forms when?
A sea breeze forms when air over land becomes warmer than the air over the nearby water.
How does wind energy derives its energy from the sun?
The sun heats the ground (or the sea) that warms the air above it. The air rises (and the pressure falls) and air from higher pressure areas move in. that gives wind mills something to get blown by
What atmospheric condition is most likely responsible for the wind blowing the clouds from the sea toward the land?
high air pressure over the sea and low air pressure over the land
Does sea breeze air sink over the water?
Yes sea breeze air sinks over water as a way of compensating for the high surface pressure caused by colder air.
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
How are monsoons made?
Air on the sea cools, while air on land warms up. This causes a area of high pressure over the sea and an area of low pressure over the land. Of course air flows from high pressure to low. This causes the air to bring water vapor on to land. convection causes this humid water to rise. Once this air rises and there is a lot of condensation in the air brings large rains. :) :)
Is air pressure at sea level low or high?
as we go deep into the sea, pressure would increases
Does a sea breeze have low or high air pressure?
It depends on the salt content of the water. (low air pressure=high salt content, high air pressure=low salt content) jks
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.
What happened to the casino by the sea night club?
at night , air over the ocean is warmer but air over land is cooler forms an area of high pressure The Casino by the Sea did not undergo renovations- it was razed and completely rebuilt as what it now is.
What is high air pressure sea level?
i believe that air pressure at sea level is high because when you go lower into water ur ears pop b/c the pressure is so high. Hope this helps :) Sandy The Mad Scientist :O
When coastal land is warmer than the nearby water what type of breeze forms?
Along Coastlines, warmer air relates to lower air pressure, thus air flows from the higher-pressure, cooler setting into the area of lower air pressure. If the land is warmer, it has lower air pressure. Air over the sea would therefore be cooler and thus have higher atmospheric pressure, and the air will naturally from from the higher pressure (in this case, from over the ocean) to the lower pressure (over the warmer land).So you get a wind from the water onto the land, or a sea breeze.
How does the pressure at sea level change as the distance from earth increases?
Air pressure reduces, as height is gained above sea-level, because there is less air at high altitudes.
How is air in high mountains different from air at sea level?
the air on the top of the mountain is more thinner because there is less pressure compared to what is going on, on sea level
