Solution
Mountaineers carry an oxygen cylinder with them-
- Altitude increases as mountaineers climb high mountain peaks
- As altitude rises, the amount of oxygen available decreases. Because trees are not available at high elevations, the amount of oxygen gas in the atmosphere decreases.
- As a result, some regions of their bodies do not receive enough oxygen gas.
- Dizziness and hypoxia are possible side effects.
