Due to evaporation of water from the surface of the sea! The most dense gases in the atmosphere are naturally at the bottom. Also, with so much air being directly above all the way up about 100 Km being pulled down onto the lower air, the atmosphere is denser.

What is the layer of the atmosphere at sea level?

The layer of the atmosphere at sea level is known as the troposphere. This is where most weather phenomena occur and it extends from the Earth's surface up to an average height of about 8 to 15 kilometers.


Where is the atmosphere the dense?

Closest to the surface of the earth at Sea level or any portion of land that lies below Sea level.


Where is the atmosphere more dense at the top of a mountain or the ocean?

The atmosphere is more dense at the ocean than at the top of a mountain. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure and density decrease, meaning that the air is thinner at higher elevations. Therefore, at sea level, such as at the ocean's surface, the atmosphere is denser compared to the air found at the summit of a mountain.


Standard air pressure?

1 atmosphere, at sea level.


Does metal or steel float in the dead sea?

No. It may be denser than the ocean, but nowhere near dense enough.
