Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
Lowered Pressure
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.
The air pressure would reduce.
It would be greatest where the atmosphere above you was thickest. Given this information you can work it out.
At the base of the mountain.
The top.
which of the following abyssal plain, continental slope and continental shelf has the area that would be under the greatest amount of pressure?

At the bottom of the valley!
It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
Air pressure decreases with height.
