As the bottle is carried from 14,000 feet to 9,000 feet to 1,000 feet, it becomes compressed. What would happen if you took a normal-shaped bottle, sealed it at 1,000 feet, and then carried it up to 14,000 feet?

Answer:

It would expand.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle sealed at 14,000 feet is compressed as height above sea level decrease because the atmospheric pressure increases at the same time. Then, a bottle sealed at 1,000 feet would expand as height above sea level increase because of the atmospheric pressure decrease.
