What else can I help you with?
What can you infer about the height at which jet airplanes fly based on the fact that their contrails form cirrus clouds?
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes, typically between 30,000 and 40,000 feet. When their exhaust gases mix with cold air at these altitudes, the water vapor in the exhaust condenses and freezes, forming contrails which can then spread out and create cirrus clouds. This indicates that the contrails and cirrus clouds are forming at a high altitude where the air is cold enough for the water vapor to freeze.
What are the effects of pressure at high altitudes on the human body?
At high altitudes, the lower air pressure can lead to decreased oxygen levels in the blood, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and headaches. In severe cases, it can result in altitude sickness, which may include symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and confusion. It is important to acclimatize slowly to high altitudes to avoid these effects.
Why does ice form on the leading edges of an airplanes' wings when it flies through clouds at high altitudes?
the air is extremely cold and the plane is going really fast. just like if you run when your face is wet and then your face gets cold. or when you stick your head out your car window while riding in a car, your face will get cold. hope this help.:)
Why are ultraviolet rays more dangerous on high mountains?
Ultraviolet rays are more dangerous at high altitudes because the atmosphere is thinner, offering less protection from the sun's radiation. This means that more UV radiation reaches the earth's surface at higher elevations, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin damage. Additionally, the reflection of sunlight off snow and ice can further intensify UV exposure at high altitudes.
Why does a fountain pen start leaking at high altitude?
A fountain pen may leak at high altitudes due to changes in air pressure. As the air pressure decreases at higher altitudes, the pressure inside the pen may become greater than the external pressure, causing ink to leak out. Additionally, fluctuations in temperature can also affect the viscosity of the ink, leading to potential leaks.
What animal would be most useful at high altitudes and cold climates?
Llama or goat
Why is there more clouds at higher altitudes?
high altitudes indicate cold temperatures so then that means that water vapor condenses at cooler temperatures and when water vapor condenses then it creates clouds
Cirrus clouds appear at low to high altitudes?
just high altitudes
What is the process in which water vapor rises to high altitudes where the air is cold and changes the water vapor into liquid or ice?
evaporation then condensation
What animals live at high altitudes?
There are actually many animals that live in high altitudes. some are:elkdeerantelopebunniesjackrabbitsprairie dogsground squirrelsgray squirrelsferretsfoxescoyotebadgersrattlesnakeshawksfalconseaglesother kinds of birds
What type of clouds are wispy and occur at very high altitudes'?
Cirrocumulus cloud is a clous that often appears at high altitudes.
Why do jet airplanes fly at high altitudes?
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.
How do high altitudes affect temperature?
High altitudes generally have lower temperatures compared to lower altitudes. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and can hold less heat, leading to cooler temperatures.
Why is Kilimanjaro is capped with snow?
Mt. Kilimanjaro is very high. At high altitudes, it gets colder. That is because sunlight warms the ground which warms the air, so air that is very far from the ground tends to be cold. At when it is cold enough, you get snow.
What is a climatic region that is characterized by cold temperatures and low vegetation?
Tundra. It is a region found in high latitudes or high altitudes where the cold temperatures inhibit tree growth, resulting in a landscape dominated by low vegetation such as mosses, lichens, and shrubs.
Is air pressure greater at high altitudes or low altitudes?
It is greater at a lower altitude.
What altitudes and mach numbers is the yaw damper most critical?
At high speeds and altitudes
