Air density

Postby 405509920 » Sun Nov 28, 2021 8:21 pm

We all know that air becomes less dense the higher the altitude. But how come at levels below sea level the air doesn't become ultra dense?

The air below sea level is denser in comparison to higher altitudes, but "ultra dense" is not really a scientific term that can be used to classify air density.

There are areas below sea level that have negligibly denser air (like death valley).
