Most mountains, the higher you go the colder it gets, the thinner air, less food and water sources, so its hard for any life to exist on the tops
Much of the life forms on Earth cannot stand the dry, cold conditions in high altitudes. humans, for example, can't stay up there for long because of the decrease in oxygen. plus, there are no suitable grounds for agriculture in higher altitudes. Another reason would be there is much less UV protection. Acute Montain Sickness caused by hopoxia-a lack of oxygen in the blood) affects over half of lowlanders who spend more than a few hours above 3,500 metres (11,480 ft).
What else can I help you with?
Will air at the top of the mountain contain more mass?
No , but less mass and less density .
How is the air at the top of a mountain different from the air at the base of the mountain?
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.
A cubic meter of air has less mass at the top or bottm of the mountain?
At the top, because the pressure there is lower.
Will water boil at 100C at the top of a mountain?
no because at the top of the mountain its less pressure than at the sea level so it will take more time to boil
A cubic meter of air has less at the top of a mountain or the bottom?
well air is thinner at higher elevations so i would say less at the top...
Where does water boil at less than 100 degrees Celsius?
On top of a mountain
What is the air pressure at the top of the mountain compared to the bottom of the mountain?
The air at the top of the mountain is going to be much less dense than the air at the bottom of the mountain because it is affected less by gravity.
Why is there less air pressure on top of a mountain?
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.
How can air tell the height of a mountain?
With the help of an instrument called barometer, you can tell approximately the height of a mountain, but you must climb to the top of the mountain to use such instrument. The higher is the mountain, there is less on the top of it, so the air pressure is fewer over there.
Why Would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on earths surface?
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
What is the coolest part of a mountain?
The coolest part of a mountain is the top. As you climb higher, the air becomes less dense and the winds become stronger.
Why would a person weigh less on top of a mountain than on Earth's surface?
Because the mountain is farther away from the gravitational centre of the Earth.
