Why do mountain climbers lost there breathing up to the mountain?
At high altitude the air is thinner because of the gravitational pull of the Earth that draws air molecules towards its centre. This making the air denser near the surface and thinner as altitude increases. The less dense the air is, the less oxygen the air contains.
Why does it get colder when you climb up a mountain and you're closer to the sun?
The air is thinner
Is there a difference in air as you go up the mountain?
yes, as you go farther up from the sea level, the air will become thinner.
Why is the air thinner at the top of a mountain?
The closer you are to the edge of the atmosphere, the denser air gets. That's why mountain climbers find it difficult to breathe, as there is less oxygen in the air up there.
What happens to air temperature as you go up mountain?
It decreases because as you move up in altitude the air becomes thinner making it colder.
Why is it harder to breath on a mountain the at sea level?
Because the air is thinner up there. There is less oxygen in the air, so it is harder to breathe.
Why do hikers put on thicker clothes when climbinga high mountain?
Thinner air at higher elevations, is colder.
What kind of effect you face when high air pressure?
It's extremely hard to breath, because the air is thinner the higher you go up until, your space where there is no air.
What happens to air as you go up in the atmosphere?
The air gets thinner. That's why if you are climbing a mountain the trees are shorter as you get to the top because they don't have as much air as the lower atmosphere.
What is the difference between the air at the bottom of a mountain then the air at the top of a mountain?
From what I recall, the air at the bottom of a mountain is usually warmer, wetter, and more oxygenated. The air at the top gets less of these three depending on as high up as you go.
What happens to temperature when air passes over a mountain?
Wind is blowing air up over the mountain. Going from about 1,000 feet at the base to 7,000 feet at the top, the temperature changes as the air goes over the mountain.
What happens to air pressure as you go up mountain why?
A 1inch by 1inch column of air from the edge of the atmosphere to sea level weighs 14.7 pounds, 80% of that is in the Troposphere. As you go up, the air within that column has less mass, making the air "thinner", and air pressure goes decreases.
