High altitude places, such as mountainous regions, can affect individuals differently due to lower oxygen levels. It can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, headache, and fatigue, known as altitude sickness. People may need time to acclimatize to the higher altitude to adjust to the decreased oxygen levels.

What happens to air pressure when the altitude goes up?

When the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases (or "GOES DOWN") and vice versa. This is due to the fact that air is affected by gravity, therefore there is more of it at a lower altitude than at a higher altitude.


How is wind speed affected by altitude?

Wind speed generally increases with altitude. This is due to a decrease in surface friction and obstacles that slow down the wind closer to the ground. As air is less hindered by obstacles at higher altitudes, it can flow more freely and result in higher wind speeds.

How is intensity of insolation affected by the altitude of the sun?

The intensity of insolation is affected by the altitude of the sun; the higher the sun is in the sky (higher altitude), the more direct the solar radiation is, resulting in higher intensity. When the sun is lower in the sky, the sunlight has to pass through a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere, which can scatter and absorb some of the radiation, reducing its intensity.

Why do people who climb high need gas masks?

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.
