Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As one rises higher in the atmosphere, the pressure decreases and the concentration of gases becomes less dense. This is because the majority of the Earth’s atmosphere is concentrated near the surface due to gravity. As one moves away from the surface, the gases become more dispersed, leading to a decrease in concentration.
