When you are higher the air is thinner, and is acting as less of a UV "shield" Another contributing factor is that higher places tend to be colder, and have snow more often, which also increases UV exposure.
There is danger to a healthy person from high altitude breathing because the oxygen level is very low which could possibly cause a heart attack or stroke.
Denver. Colorado is the highest elevated state in the US and so receives far stronger UV Light. High altitude sunburn can occur far more quickly at high altitude than at sea level. Without sunscreen in Denver Col. you can begin to burn in 10 minutes. And the sunburn will take longer to heal.
There are many problems and dangers that the climber will face while on Mount Everest. High altitude Pulmonary Edema High Altitude Cerebral Edema Frostbite Hypothermia Snow Blindness Crevasses Avalanches Rock Fall The Weather
If a person is on pacemaker how will high altitude affect him?
Yes, 5000 feet is considered high altitude.
Because of high altitude sickness which is affected by climbing up high were there is high altitude. High altitude is were there is to much oxygen up high, if you breech in to much oxygen you could faint.
Above 100,000 feet altitude (20 miles).
High Altitude Warfare School was created in 1948-12.
The airplane was flying at a very high altitude.
I don't think they can survive high altitude. Because they are so small, and when you are in a high altitude your not close to ground, and the air around you is different. And picturing my Guinea Pig in a high altitude is scary enough because she is so small, and fragile, too, lol. But, the main point is, guinea pigs probably can't survive in a high altitude, only different creatures.
Clouds at high altitude use the prefix cirro while clouds at middle altitude use the prefix alto. I know this is not in the question but clouds at low altitude don't use any specific prefix. I am also in love with Arturo B.
Cake recipes only need adjusting for high altitude, not for low altitude.
