A. It's unaffected by changes in altitude.
OB. It decreases.
C. It changes based on the time of year.
D. It increases.

Answer 1

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase altitude => decreasing pressure... as matter of fact, the standard lapse rate is - 1.0 lbs/in² per 1000 feet. That is ...

at earth's surface => P = 14.2 psi

at 1000ft => P = 13.2 psi

at 2000ft => P = 12.2 psi

at 5000 ft => P = 9.2 psi and so on.
