Question

Why do mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them?

Answer 1

Hypoxia:

1. Mountaineers sometimes experience lightheadedness as a result of low air pressure.
2. Hypoxia may also result from it. Hypoxia is a state of insufficient tissue-level oxygen supply in a particular area of the body. Therefore, mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders to prevent problems brought on by a lack of oxygen. A cylinder of oxygen is carried by mountaineers. The cylinders are carried by them for the following reasons:
3. It's because when people climb mountains, the amount of oxygen in the air diminishes as the altitude rises because there are fewer trees there.
4. As the height rises, the air pressure decreases. The air pressure is too low at the summit of the mountain for oxygen to selectively permeate into the blood.
   As a result, on high mountains, mountaineers frequently carry compressed oxygen cylinders.
