The air pressure stays the same.
O The air pressure increases.
O The air pressure decreases.
The air pressure increases at first then it decreases.

Answer 1

The pressure of the air decreases

Answer 2

Answer:The air pressure decreases

Explanation: Pressure with Height: pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
