When Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane at its peak strength, the air pressure in the eye of the storm was 902mb. Near the earth's surface, the air pressure falls off at roughly 100mb per kilometer.
 
  So if you had an uncorrected altimeter in the eye of Katrina at sea level (not a good place to be), what altitude would it have read?
  A) 1020 m B) 115 m C) 10,000 m D) 2010 m
