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 air pressure greater on the surface of the earth or 100 miles out into space?
Air pressure decreases steadily with increasing altitude. At 100 miles up, there is essentially NO atmosphere.
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.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
Why is it colder on top of a mountain than it is at a beach?
The air on the mountaintop is at lower pressure.
Where is air pressure greater on the surface of the earth or 100 miles out into space?
Air pressure decreases steadily with increasing altitude. At 100 miles up, there is essentially NO atmosphere.
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.
Where is air pressure the greatest?
The air pressure is greatest at 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.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
The measurement of air pressure at sea level is called?
Sea level pressure.
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
Great masses of air molecules pushing down from adove?
It is AIR PRESSURE!!
How does differental heating affect air pressure?
It affects the air pressure because the more higher level you have the more air pressure and the lower you have the lower the air pressure will be.
What is the pressure air applies at sea level?
fart is the pressure
