69 Mountaineers carry oxygen ……. with them while climbing on high mountains.


Open in App
Solution

Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them while climbing high mountains.

  • 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.

Therefore, Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them while climbing high mountains.
