Chem a level: Maxwell -Boltzman Distribution Curve, why does height of peak decrease?

hey all,
dont understand why the height of the peak decreases when the temperature increases
i know that the area under must remain the same becuase obvs the total number of molecules cant change. But why are there then technically less molecules at the peak? sorry if this is not really clearly worded

It’s because there are more molecules at/above activation energy, so the area under the curve there is greater than it would be at a lower temperature. Which means the curve for increased temp needs to be lower elsewhere. It just means less molecules are at the average energy at the higher temperature (I think)

If the area of the curve has to remain the same and the width increases then the height MUST decrease.
