That would be true in a static arrangement, but the fluid is moving. Try Bernoulli's equation.Bestfrog said:
The highest point on Earth is Mount Everest, located on the border of Nepal and Tibet, with an elevation of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet).
The pressure at the highest point on Earth is significantly lower than at sea level. This is due to the decrease in atmospheric mass as altitude increases, leading to a decrease in air pressure.
The higher the altitude, the lower the pressure. This is because as altitude increases, there is less air above pushing down, resulting in a decrease in atmospheric pressure.
The lack of pressure at high altitudes can cause altitude sickness, as the body needs time to acclimate to the decrease in oxygen and pressure. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and dizziness.
Yes, pressure can be measured at the highest point on Earth using specialized equipment such as barometers. However, the readings will be significantly lower than at sea level due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure.
