Why is it hard to breath on the top of a mountain?

At high altitudes, the air pressure is lower, which means that there is less oxygen available per breath. This makes it harder for the body to take in enough oxygen to meet its needs, resulting in difficulty breathing at the top of a mountain.


What happens to atmospheric pressure as you climb a mountain?

Atmospheric pressure decreases as you climb a mountain because there is less air above pushing down on you. This decrease in pressure can cause symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue at high altitudes.


Can humans breath at 20000 feet?

Not very well. The air is simply too thin- not enough oxygen. Mountain climbers at that elevation will need supplemental oxygen in order to breath. I get winded at 14,000 feet. Of course, if you are in an aircraft that has a pressurized cabin, you are being supplied with additional air.


Why is it more difficult to breathe on top of a mountain than at sea level?

Breathing is more difficult on top of a mountain due to the reduced atmospheric pressure, which leads to lower oxygen levels in the air. At higher altitudes, the air is thinner, meaning there are fewer oxygen molecules available with each breath. This decreased oxygen availability can result in hypoxia, where the body struggles to get enough oxygen for its needs, causing symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.


What is the mountain range that runs through the centre of Bulgaria?

The Balkan Mountains run through the center of Bulgaria. They are the longest mountain range in Bulgaria and divide the country into northern and southern regions.
