How does the standard atmospheric pressure exhibited at sea level compare to the atmospheric pressure exhibited at the top of a tall mountain?

The atmospheric pressure at the top of a tall mountain is much less pressure than that at sea level. This is because as you go up higher, there is less air pushing down on you. Hope this helped!

As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decrease. On other words, the higher you go in a mountain, the lower the pressure gets.
