How do mountain goats breathe in high altitudes?
Mountain goats are born and live their whole lives in high altitudes, so they are used to breathing the thin air and it isn't a problem for them.
Why is it possible for a high mountain to be covered by snow?
The high altitudes cause it to be colder.
What habitat starts with M?
Mountains are a habitat. Many animals live in the mountain's lower altitudes.
How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, so at the top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower compared to the bottom of the mountain. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below at higher altitudes.
Why would you need a sunblock when climbing a mountain?
You would need sunblock when climbing a mountain because as you reach the higher altitudes you are getting closer to the sun so your skin is my likely to get burnt. Also, at higher altitudes there is alot of wind and the sunblock somewhat contributes to blocking the wind.
Where is Triglav and how high is it?
Triglav, the mountain, is located in Triglav National Park, the only national park in Slovania. Altitudes in the park range from 180m in the lowest vally to the mountain peak at 2,864m.
Do you get sun burnt faster in higher elevation?
In higher elevations or altitudes like mountain regions, there is higher risk of developing sunburns.
How did mountain passes help settlers?
Mountain passes gave traveling settlers a way to travel through the mountains. Without the passes, the settlers would have to travel to higher and more dangerous altitudes.
Where can you find alpline forest in Pakistan?
Pakistan's alpine forests are found at the highest altitudes in the mountain-regions of the Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindu Kush. These mountain-ranges are located at the very north of Pakistan.
What are respiratory adaptaions that a horse or a mountain goat have?
The horse and mountain goat have completely different environments so they developed different adaptations. The mountain goat has developed the ability to breath thin mountain air and maintain good oxygen levels. The horse evolved differently. Their hooves are hard for gallops over flatter, dryer ground. They have a big heartgirth and a big lung capacity to run long distances from preditors. Both are beautiful in their own way.
How do you think boiling of water will change on sea level as compared to boiling water on a mountain top?
Water boils at a lower temperature on a mountain top due to lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. This means that water will boil faster on a mountain compared to sea level where the pressure is higher.
What is a mountain ecosystem?
A mountain ecosystem is a diverse and unique environment that includes various habitats found at different elevations on a mountain. It consists of distinct zones such as the base, temperate forests, alpine meadows, and snow-capped peaks, each supporting a range of plant and animal species adapted to the harsh conditions of high altitudes. These ecosystems are important for biodiversity conservation and provide essential services like freshwater supply and carbon sequestration.
