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.


Where would the air pressure be the greatest on top of a mountain or above Earth's atmosphere?

Air pressure is greatest at lower altitudes, such as at sea level, because there is more air above pushing down due to gravity. On top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower due to the reduced amount of air above. Similarly, above Earth's atmosphere, air pressure decreases significantly as altitude increases. Therefore, air pressure would be greatest at sea level, not on top of a mountain or above the atmosphere.


Where would air pressure be the highest on a mountain?

At the base of the mountain.


Where would atmospheric pressure be greatest at sea level on a mountaintop at the altitude at which planes fly or at the outer edge of the atmosphere?

At sea level, atmospheric pressure would be greatest because of the weight of the entire column of air above that point. As you move higher up a mountain, atmospheric pressure decreases due to the lower column of air above. However, at the outer edge of the atmosphere, the pressure drops significantly as there is almost no air present in this region.


What layer on the mountain would have the most air pressure?

The top.

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.


How would air pressure change as it drive up and then down a Mountain Road?
