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 it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?
It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
Where would air pressure be greatest on a mountain or a beach?
Air pressure would be greater at sea level, so it would be greater at the beach compared to the top of a mountain. This is because the weight of the air above exerts more pressure at lower elevations.
Is a tall building more liekly to be damaged by an earthquake if it is on a mountain of granite or in a valley of sediment?
mountain of granite
In what mountain range can one find the Yosemite Valley?
The beautiful glacial valley Yosemite Valley is located in California. To be more specific it is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range and is carved out by the Merced River.
Valley and mountain breezes are examples of?
Local winds
Is ther more air pressure at the top of a mountain or a beach?
There is more air pressure at a beach compared to the top of a mountain. Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude, so the air pressure at the top of a mountain is lower than at sea level like a beach.
Would you expect the air pressure in a valley that's below sea level to be higher or lower than air pressure at sea level?
Air pressure in a valley below sea level would be higher than at sea level. This is because the weight of the air column above is greater in the valley due to the higher density of air molecules compressed into a smaller volume.
8.How does a glaciated mountain valley differ in appearance from a mountain valley that was not glaciated?
A glaciated mountain valley typically has a U-shaped profile with steep, smooth walls and a flat bottom due to the scouring action of the glacier. In contrast, a mountain valley that was not glaciated usually has a V-shaped profile with more rugged and uneven walls, shaped primarily by flowing water and tectonic forces.
What causes mountain breeze to form?
After sunset the sun is no longer warming the mountain side and there is cooling of the air along the slope. The air becomes more dense and sinks into to valley. Thus the wind blows from the mountain side down into the valley and is thus called a mountain breeze.
