Does elevation effect the amount of oxygen?
Yes
How do you test oxygen content in canned product?
To test oxygen content in a canned product, you should use an oxygen absorber packet. This can tell you (not exact) how much oxygen is in something, like a package.
What is the relationship of oxygen density to altitude?
As the altitude increases, the density of oxygen decreases.
Why would you die of suffocation if you were to eject from a fighter plane at an elevation of 12 km without oxygen tank?
Because at 39,370 feet of elevation, the air is too thin to support life- there is just not enough oxygen.

As elevation increases this becomes thinner?
"air" and/or "oxygen"
If your elevation is increases and oxygen decreasing of what other gas is there more of?
If your elevation increases, not only does oxygen decrease but all gasses decrease. The greater distance you are from the earth's surface you are, the less air there is. When there is less air, there is less oxygen. No other gas increases to make up for the loss of oxygen.
When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
What elevation increases oxygen content?
It is at sea level. The higher you climb from sea level, to reach the summit of Mount Everest (for example), the less oxygen is in the very thin air. This is why the majority of climbers of Mount Everest have to carry oxygen cylinders. Someone occasionally achieves the summit without oxygen tanks! Therefore, the higher the altitude, the thinner the oxygen in the air.
When elevation increases oxygen content?
The following changes are average changes, which means there might be exceptions more or less as we rise upward. But in general as elevation increases, on average: Temperature decreases Atm pressure decreases Wind velocity increases Gamma radiation increases Overhead turns black More and more stars are seen Shape of the planet as a sphere becomes obvious
Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?
No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.
Why is there a venous reserve of oxygen in the blood?
Venous reserve is available to maintain tissue oxygenation if either systemic oxygen demand increases or arterial content falls.
What is relationship between temperature and elevation?
Temperature decreases as the elevation increases.
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
Is fire effected by elevation?
Yes. As elevation increases, combustion is more difficult to sustain, since each unit volume of gas contains less oxygen. Just like it is difficult for us to breathe at high altitude, so it is for a fire.
Does the percentage of Oxygen drop with elevation?
No. It changes negligably from the standard ~21% regardless of elevation. (at any elevation you can survive at anyway) :p The actual amount of available oxygen does change, due to a decrease in atmospheric density as elevation increases. For example: at 17,700ft (apparently a common Mt. Everest base camp) the air density is approximately 51% of the density at sea level. So you COULD express it as 51% of ~21%, which would be about 10.71%.
