The Higher They Climb was created in 1975-07.
The temperature generally decreases as you climb higher up a mountain due to lower air pressure and thinner atmosphere. This change in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate, and it results in colder temperatures at higher elevations.
well i am guessing that because of the higher altitude the temperature would be colder
The higher you climb the less oxygen there is and this can play tricks on your mind. Some climbers have had hallucinations and even 'felt' someone there with them yet they were totally alone. Read the article at the link.
Air density decreases as you climb mountains because the air molecules become more spread out at higher altitudes. This means there are fewer air molecules in a given volume, leading to lower air density.
It is harder to climb it at the top because the elevation higher up makes it harder to breath and climb.
Air evaporates
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
As you climb higher the less oxygen you because higher altitudes and because atmospheric pressure is lower, the air molecules and hence the O2 is less concentrated per unit volume.
As people climb higher and higher on a mountain, the air becomes thinner, which means there is less oxygen available for the body to use. This leads to a decrease in oxygen reaching the tissues and cells, causing a person to feel breathless as the body works harder to compensate for the lower oxygen levels.
Mercury
Yes, provided you can jump or fly. You just can't CLIMB any higher.
