Question

How does altitude affect air pressure and density? Check all that apply. Air is less dense on a mountaintop than at sea level. Air pressure is lower at low altitudes. As you climb a mountain, air pressure increases. More force pushes on the air at the bottom of an air column. As you descend a mountain, air molecules are closer together.
