did the test

Answer 2

air pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows the concept of air pressure. Air pressure is also called atmospheric pressure. The pressure which is applied by the gases present above in the atmosphere on the object present below on the surface of earth. Atmospheric pressure is measured by an instrument called barometer.
