Question

Death Valley in California is 86 m below sea level. Will the partial pressure of oxygen in Death Valley be the same, lower or higher than the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level?

A. higher

B. impossible to tell without additional information

C. the same

Answer 1

in general; the lower the elevation, the higher the atmospheric pressure

but the pressure (barometric) varies with weather conditions

B might be the best answer for this somewhat ambiguous question

Answer 2

Note that the question gives three choices but the answer choices are not the same.
Pressure goes down as you ascend so .......

Answer 3

Yes I agree, because when I answered "lower" it was incorrect...thank you for your feedback! :)
