∙ 9y agoAir pressure is greater at sea level than on a mountaintop. In general, the higher up you go in altitude, the lower the air pressure.

How does the air pressure at the surface of the earth compare to the air pressure at about 7 miles above earth?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air prassure.
What causes the pressure that allows diamonds form in the mantle?
Diamonds are believed to be formed about 90 miles below the surface of the Earth, in the mantle. So, the weight of the Earth above them creates the pressure to form diamonds.

Is ozone five miles away from the earth's surface?
No. The ozone layer sits in the Earth's stratosphere, 10 to 50 kilometers or 6 to 31 miles from the Earth's surface.
How close can humans get to the core of the earth?
The closest a person could get is a few miles into the earth, leaving hundreds of thousands of miles between the surface and the core. The crust is about 22miles thick, and as you progress from the surface, heat and pressure increase, thus unprotected a person can only travel so deep across such a length of time before the changes in temp and pressure become dangerous.
