How do mountain goats breathe in high altitudes?
Mountain goats are born and live their whole lives in high altitudes, so they are used to breathing the thin air and it isn't a problem for them.
Why is it possible for a high mountain to be covered by snow?
The high altitudes cause it to be colder.
What habitat starts with M?
Mountains are a habitat. Many animals live in the mountain's lower altitudes.
Why is air pressure on the top of a mountain strongest?
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.
How is air pressure different from the top of the mountain vs the bottom of a mountain?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, so at the top of a mountain, the air pressure is lower compared to the bottom of the mountain. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below at higher altitudes.
Why would you need a sunblock when climbing a mountain?
You would need sunblock when climbing a mountain because as you reach the higher altitudes you are getting closer to the sun so your skin is my likely to get burnt. Also, at higher altitudes there is alot of wind and the sunblock somewhat contributes to blocking the wind.
Where is Triglav and how high is it?
Triglav, the mountain, is located in Triglav National Park, the only national park in Slovania. Altitudes in the park range from 180m in the lowest vally to the mountain peak at 2,864m.
How did mountain passes help settlers?
Mountain passes gave traveling settlers a way to travel through the mountains. Without the passes, the settlers would have to travel to higher and more dangerous altitudes.
Where can you find alpline forest in Pakistan?
Pakistan's alpine forests are found at the highest altitudes in the mountain-regions of the Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindu Kush. These mountain-ranges are located at the very north of Pakistan.
Do you get sun burnt faster in higher elevation?
In higher elevations or altitudes like mountain regions, there is higher risk of developing sunburns.
Is the air thinner high up a mountain?
Yes, the air is thinner at higher altitudes, such as on a mountain. This is because atmospheric pressure decreases as elevation increases, resulting in fewer air molecules available at higher elevations. Consequently, the oxygen levels are also lower, which can make breathing more difficult for those not acclimated to high altitudes.
What are respiratory adaptaions that a horse or a mountain goat have?
The horse and mountain goat have completely different environments so they developed different adaptations. The mountain goat has developed the ability to breath thin mountain air and maintain good oxygen levels. The horse evolved differently. Their hooves are hard for gallops over flatter, dryer ground. They have a big heartgirth and a big lung capacity to run long distances from preditors. Both are beautiful in their own way.
