Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has?
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has a higher humidity. In general, air pressure is the sum of the individual pressures of gases present in the air. Dry air lacks any water vapor pressure in the air. Therefore, any air with a humidity above 0% has a higher pressure than dry air.
How can people in good shape have trouble breathing at high altitudes?
There is less oxygen in the air at higher altitudes. The atmosphere is held in place by the force of gravity, and it is thicker at the bottom, and gradually becomes thinner the higher you go. If you get high enough, the air runs out completely and you are then in outer space. Better wear your spacesuit!
Where air is present?
Air is present in forests with trees I think Or its oxygen
What was the first air breathing animal?
According to my Biology text, the first air breathing animal was a Scorpion-like Arthropod, about 444 million years ago.
What is the physical process of taking air or water?
breathing
Which gas is present in higher concentration in breathing air?
oxygen
What is word for small quantity of air?
If you are breathing it, a puff or breath.
What has air composition to do with why breathing at high altitude is difficult?
It is not so much as the composition that is important, it is that at higher altitudes there is less air. Air is about 20% oxygen, but the higher up you go in altitude, the thinner air will have less oxygen. That's what makes breathing more difficult at higher altitudes.
Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
When you climb higher what happens to you?
when you climb higher you will get colder and colder when you go higher.2. it dosent have much air when you get up so take breathing equietment.
Do people with emphysema have a higher or lower breathing rate than someone who does not have the disease?
Emphysema causes a higher breathing rate. A person with emphysema can be "air hungry" even when getting external oxygen by mask or cannula.
Can higher elevations affect people?
Yes, it can effect breathing, making the air thinner, and harder to inhale.
Why in high altitude you face breathing problems?
B/c the higher you go the less air there is to breathe from.
Is Denver considered a high altitude breathing problem area?
yes, the higher the altitude the thinner the air, thus the less oxygen in the air.
Is air a good conductor of electric charge?
Under some circumstances such as presences of the quantity of gases present in air some times air acts as good&bad conductor of electricity.
What happens to amount of fresh air entering alveoli when tidal volume declines?
What happens is that the air volume entering the alveoli also decreases. Tidal volume is the quantity of air that enters and leaves the lungs during quiet breathing.
What is the quantity of air in the atmosphere above your head?
The quantity of air in the atmosphere above our head is about 250 kilograms which is about the weight of two baby elephants. But we don't feel the enormous weight is balanced by the pressure exerted by the blood and other fluids present in our body
