The higher into the atmosphere the plane ascends, the thinner the air is. This is the reason oxygen is required. The United States Parachute Association states oxygen use should begin at 15,000' above ground level.
As the altitude increases, the density of oxygen decreases.
Because of high altitude sickness which is affected by climbing up high were there is high altitude. High altitude is were there is to much oxygen up high, if you breech in to much oxygen you could faint.
No, the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is not changed by altitude.
If one flies at high altitude the air gets thinner, that is, there is less of it. If one wants to have enough oxygen, he will need a mask.
Altitude sickness can be treated with oxygen therapy
It depends on the grade
No mountains in the UK are tall enough for the air at the summit to be appreciably thinner. The only people who'd need bottled air on the summit are those who'd need it anyway, at any altitude!
makes 40% oxygen than lower altitude
Lydia Bradey from New Zealand in 1988 was the first woman to climb Mount Everest without bottled oxygen
Alison Hargreaves. On 13 May 1995 she reached the summit of Everest without the aid of Sherpas or bottled oxygen.
The atmospheric saturation of oxygen decreases as altitude increases. Almost all humans can't live above 18,000 feet due to low oxygen concentrations
The oxygen that is dissolved in the water.
