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.
Why is it more difficult to breath at the top of a mountain?
This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.
What is the percent of oxygen at the top of a mountain?
The percentage of oxygen remains about 21% at the top of a mountain. However, due to lower air pressure at higher altitudes, there are fewer oxygen molecules per unit volume, making it harder to breathe.
How will the air at the top of a mountain be different from the air at the base?
The air at the top of the mountain is less dense, meaning there are less particles of oxygen in a certain are than on the ground. It is harder to breathe because the air is so thin, there is not enough oxygen to breathe normally until you get used to it.
A mountain peak in the Himalayas has an elevation of 20000 feet above see level if you climbed to the top would you be 20000 feet above the bse of the mountain?
No, the elevation of 20000 feet is measured from sea level, not from the base of the mountain. If you climb to the top of the mountain, you would be at the summit, but your elevation above the base of the mountain would be less than 20000 feet.
Is the air on a mountain top heavier?
no as you go higher the air gets less dence that's why it gets harder to breath.
Is it harder to climb Mt. Everest near the top or bottom?
It is harder to climb it at the top because the elevation higher up makes it harder to breath and climb.
Why do people experience shortness of breath more quickly at the top of a mountain than along a seashore?
people experience shortness of breath at top of mountain because of lower oxygen
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.
How cold can it be at the top of a mountain?
slightly above 'see your breath' cold.
How would you adjust with the life on mountain top?
One way you could adjust with life on a mountain top would be to eat foods you find on the mountain top.
Would it be more difficult to draw soda through a straw at sea level or on top of a mountain?
It would be more difficult to draw soda through a straw on top of a mountain because the atmospheric pressure is lower at higher altitudes, making it harder to create the suction needed to pull the liquid up the straw. In contrast, at sea level with higher atmospheric pressure, it would be easier to draw soda through a straw.
Is it easier to breathe on top of Mount Whitney?
No, it would be harder to breathe on top of Mount Whitney (or any other mountain) do to the air being thinner. The thin air at higher elevations has less oxygen in it than at sea level (air at 10,000 to 14,000 ft has only 60-70 percent of the amount of oxygen in the air at sea level). Therefore with each breath you don't get much oxygen.
What would be the approximate air temperature at the top of a mountain?
Because mountain is a higher and the air is top and right and left of a mountain.🙂
Why is it more difficult to breath at the top of a mountain?
This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.
Why is it hard to breath at the top of a mountain when you live at sea level?
Air is thinner. So until you are used to it -it feels difficult
Which part of a mountain would you like to be at?
top
