Which of the following locations would have an atmospheric pressure greater than 760 mm Hg? a. Memphis, TN (59 m above sea level) b. New Orleans, LA (2 m below sea level) c. San Diego, CA (sea level) d. Mauna Kea, HI (4205 m above sea level)

Considering the available options, the location that would have an atmospheric pressure greater than 760mm Hg is "New Orleans, LA (2 m below sea level)."

This is based on the idea that the higher the sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure of a specific place, and the lower the sea level, the higher the atmospheric pressure of a place.

Thus, in this case, given that New Orleans, LA (2 m below sea level) has the lowest amount of sea level among the options available, the New Orleans, LA (2 m below sea level) is expected to have atmospheric pressure greater than 760 mm Hg.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure is due to the weight of the air above the region: the higher the region the less the amount of air above it, so the lower the atmospheric pressure. The lower the region the more the amount of air above it, so the higher the pressure.

The normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm which is equal to 760mmHg. Thus, you must find which region among the given options represents an altitute lower than sea level. That is New Orleans, LA, because it is 2m below sea level.
