There's less air. The air is less dense so you are getting less oxygen.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower, resulting in less oxygen available per breath. This makes it harder for your body to get the oxygen it needs, leading to shortness of breath as your respiratory system works harder to compensate. Over time, your body can acclimate to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes.
As you go higher in altitude, the air becomes thinner and less dense. Thinner air is not able to hold heat as well as denser air, so the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. This is why it is colder the higher you go in altitude.
Air pressure is greater at lower altitudes because the weight of the air above compresses the air below, leading to higher pressure. As you go higher in altitude, the air pressure decreases due to the lower weight of air above.
As you increase in altitude, the air pressure decreases. This is because the higher you go, the fewer air molecules are present above you, leading to lower pressure. In general, air pressure decreases by about 1 atmosphere for every 10,000 feet increase in altitude.
Air pressure decreases as you go higher in the atmosphere. This is because there is less air above pushing down. As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense, resulting in lower pressure.
Because the higher you go in altitude, the harder it is 2 breathe because of thin air.
Because - the higher up the atmosphere you go - the less oxygen is in the air you breathe. Our bodies need a certain percentage of the air we breathe to be Oxygen - reduce the amount of oxygen in each breath, and it soon affects the body.
they are spread farther apart, causing the air to get thinner, making it harder to breathe. ;P
the air is thinner the higher up you go so it is harder to breathe. That's why there are pressurized cabins on airplanes because you wouldn't be able to breathe without the pressure keeping the air inside
Increasing altitude decreases air pressure. In other words, they are an inverse relationship -- as one goes up, the other goes down. This is why when low-altitude dwellers like along the coastlines travel to mountainous areas, they find it harder to breathe; the air is just thinner at high altitude.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower, resulting in less oxygen available per breath. This makes it harder for your body to get the oxygen it needs, leading to shortness of breath as your respiratory system works harder to compensate. Over time, your body can acclimate to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes.
because its hard to breathe thin air above earths surface, the higher you go its hard to breathe oxygen.
because the air is thinner the higher the altitude is.
As elevation decreases, air pressure increases. This is because the higher you are in the atmosphere, the less air there is above you exerting downward pressure, resulting in lower air pressure. Conversely, the lower you are in elevation, the more air there is above you pressing down, leading to higher air pressure.
no as you go higher the air gets less dence that's why it gets harder to breath.
Yes, gravity affects the air that we breathe. That is why it is harder to breathe when we go up high mountains. There is less air there. Without gravity, the air would float off into space, just as we would.
ya because u need air to breathe and air is thin the higher you go up in the air
