Why do mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them?

Open in App
Solution

Amount of oxygen gradually decreases with the increase in altitude. So, as we climb higher and higher, the oxygen level becomes low. This is the reason why mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them so that they don't face any difficulty to respire.
