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.
it depends on how high up the mountain you are.the higher you get the colder it gets.
The atmosphere is more dense at the ocean than at the top of a mountain. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure and density decrease, meaning that the air is thinner at higher elevations. Therefore, at sea level, such as at the ocean's surface, the atmosphere is denser compared to the air found at the summit of a mountain.
As mountain climbers ascend, the air pressure decreases due to the reduction in the weight of the air above them. This lower air pressure means that there are fewer air molecules in a given volume, resulting in thinner air. Consequently, climbers experience a decrease in the availability of oxygen, making it more difficult to breathe at higher altitudes.
Temperatures drop as you gain altitude because the air becomes thinner and less able to trap heat. This results in cooler temperatures at the peak of a mountain compared to a beach at sea level where the denser air retains more heat.
Temperatures decrease with altitude because the air becomes less dense as you move higher up the mountain. This thinner air is not as effective at trapping heat, leading to lower temperatures at higher elevations.
well air is thinner at higher elevations so i would say less at the top...
The top of a mountain has lower air pressure, not greater air pressure, compared to lower elevations. This is because the higher you go in elevation, the thinner the atmosphere becomes, leading to lower air pressure due to decreased atmospheric density.
Actually, air pressure is strongest at lower altitudes, not at the top of a mountain. As you ascend a mountain, the amount of air above you decreases, leading to lower air pressure. This is because the weight of the air column above decreases with elevation, resulting in thinner air and reduced pressure at higher altitudes.
There is less air pressure on top of a mountain because the weight of the air above is less due to the thinner atmosphere at higher altitudes. This causes the air molecules to be more spread out, resulting in lower pressure.
Air is thinner. So until you are used to it -it feels difficult
aaarrrggg, i know this one. its something to do with the air being thinner
The air at the top of the mountain is thinner than the air at the base of the mountain. That is why you are harder breathing on the top than on the bottom.The gases are about the same, but there is usually a lot less water vapor (because its cold) :but the pressure is less (that is, the number of molecules per cubic foot is less), down to the point that on top of the tallest mountains humans can not survive for any appreciable time.
it depends on how high up the mountain you are.the higher you get the colder it gets.
The higher you are in the atmosphere, the lower the air pressure. Seeing that the top of a mountain is quite high, the air pressure is low; the air is thinner. This is why you need oxygen tanks to reach the top of Mount Everest

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.
The air is usually very thin at the top of a mountain.
