Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
An instrument used to measure altitude is called an altimeter. As we know, the pressure of the liquid depends on the height and density, which means that pressure depends on altitude. When the pressure is lower, the greater the attitude is. When the pressure falls by 1cm, there is more than a 107.36 m increase in height. Using this principle of barometer can also be used as an altimeter.
