This is because the air molecules are further apart at higher altitudes, so there is less pressure exerted on the surface. The rate of decrease is not constant, however. At lower altitudes, the pressure decreases more slowly. This is because the air is denser at lower altitudes, so there are more air molecules to exert pressure. As you go higher, the air becomes less dense, so <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> the pressure decreases more rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>Option A is incorrect because the pressure does not decrease linearly.
