What are great mountain barriers?

Ah, great mountain barriers are like nature's gentle giants, standing tall and strong to protect and guide us. They create a sense of awe and wonder, reminding us of the beauty and power of the world around us. Just like how we can overcome obstacles with patience and determination, these mountains teach us that challenges can lead to growth and new perspectives.


How high can polution rise in the atmosphere?

To the point of being unbreathable to almost all organisms. Including us.


Why does the pressure decreases when you are in a high mountain or in the peak of the mountain?

Air pressure is the weight of the air above you. When you ascend to some altitude above the Earth's surface, part of the air is beneath you, so the weight of the air above you, and therefor the pressure where you are, is reduced. Exactly the same reason that the pressure on the football player in the middle of the pile-up is less than the pressure on the guy with the ball, at the bottom of the pile.


The part of the earth where the sun's rays strike most directly is called?

The top of Everest, K2, Kilimanjaro or any high mountain. This is due to a lack of particulates in the air to filter the rays out and of course because they are closer to the sun. Although the Equatorial region of the Earth may be the hottest, the actual difference in distance between the Equator and Everest is negligible if you consider how far the suns rays have travelled to get to us in the first place.


What layer of gas in the troposphere protects the earth from high-energy UV radiation?
