It is not, air pressure is greatest at sea level. This is because the air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above you and at sea level the depth of the air column above you is at its maximum.

Air pressure is greatest because there are more molecules of air pushing down from above?
Air pressure is greatest at sea level.
A temperature inversion occurs when the upper layers of air are what?
Warmer than the air at ground level.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
Why does temperature become cooler as you go higher above sea level?
Air (especially the air we breath (i.e. near sea level)) does not absorbe the heat from the sun. That passes through the air and is absorbed into the ground (or sea). It's the heat from the ground that heats the air; thus the air nearest the surface of the planet that gets the warmest.
Where is air pressure the greatest in the atmosphere?
Air pressure is the amount of force exerted on an object by the atmosphere. It is greatest at sea level.It is greatest in the exosphere, due to the fact that air pressure is greater as the altitude rises; the exosphere is the highest level within the atmosphere.Air pressure is greatest in the areas that are small and enclosed. This is because there is no way to escape.
Where is air pressure the greatest?
The air pressure is greatest at sea level.
Where is the air pressure the greatest at sea level or on a mountain?
sea level
Air pressure is greatest because there are more molecules of air pushing down from above?
Air pressure is greatest at sea level.
Can cold deserts be found at ground level?
ALL deserts are found at ground level. They do not float in the air.
Normal air pressure is greatest at?
Sea level.
How do ground level clouds form?
The moisture in the ground combines with the the air to make water vapor, therefore creating clouds at ground level.
Is air pressure the greatest at sea level?
Yes the air there as the weight of the entire atmosphere on it.
Is 36000 feet in the air closer to ground level or space?
It is much closer to the ground.
Is ozone good for the air?
Ozone is good at atmospheric level. It is pollutant in ground level.
A temperature inversion occurs when the upper layers of air are what?
Warmer than the air at ground level.
What does moist air cooled at ground level cause to form?
Dew, which is the condensation of water droplets on the ground.
Can fog forms can humid air cools near ground level?
yes
