Pressure decreases constantly with height. Eventually there are only a few molecules left to exert any pressure at the top of the atmosphere, which gradually transitions into space (a vacuum of zero pressure). So to answer your question, pressure is lowest at the highest altitude you have in mind.

Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
As altitude increases how does air pressure change?
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
Which altitudes would have the lowest air pressure and why?
The highest altitudes have the lowest air pressure. Air pressure increases as altitude decreases. Above sea level is lower pressure; below sea level is higher pressure.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
At what part of the earth's surface is the atmospheric pressure the minimum?
The tops of mountains have the consistently lowest air pressure, because density decreases with altitude. The simplest explanation is that there is "less air pushing down" when you are at a higher altitude.
What effect on air pressure with altitude explain briefly?
As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. As altitude decreases, air pressure increases.
How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
How does air pressure change as altitude change?
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
As altitude increases how does air pressure change?
Increased altitude means decreased air pressure.
How does altitude affect density and pressure?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air pressure decreases, so does density.
What happen to the air pressure in a higher altitude?
The air pressure is lower the higher the altitude. That is basically how an altimeter works.
What general statement can be made about the relationship between air pressure and altitude?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
Can air pressure falls drastically at high altitude?
Air pressure falls of as one gains altitude. At high altitude the air pressure is very low but it does not "falls drastically", which implies a sudden change.
What happens to air pressure's rate of change as altitude increases?
The rate of change of air pressure as a function of increasing altitude decreases with increasing altitude.
