Answer;

Air pressure

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Pressure is the force that is applied over a unit of area. Air pressure is the weight of air molecules pressing down on the Earth. It is the force exerted by air particles on the earth's surface.
  • The column of air extends to the top of the atmosphere. As one move up increasing the altitude, the air pressure decreases since the air column is reduced.
