Joe is at a higher altitude than if he was at the beach.

The air Joe is breathing is less dense than the air at sea level.

If Joe keeps going up, air pressure will continue to decrease.

Explanation:

Joe stands at the top of a hill on a trail above the ocean which represents a higher altitude when compared to the beach level.

At higher altitudes the air is usually less dense.

As altitude increases the air pressure decreases.
