Atmospheric pressure decreases as the altitude increases because there is decrease in the air molecules when there is an increase in the altitude. The layer of air around the earth is the atmosphere. When the air molecules collide the surface atmospheric pressure is caused.
Air pressure is low on the mountains when compared to the sea level air pressure.
