Why do people who climb high need gas masks?
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.
What is the relationship of oxygen density to altitude?
Oxygen density decreases as altitude increases. This is due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, which results in a lower concentration of oxygen molecules. Therefore, the higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen density.
Is bottled oxygen 100 percent?
It depends on the grade
Do you need an air cylinder when you climb helvellyn?
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!
What place affected altitude?
High altitude places, such as mountainous regions, can affect individuals differently due to lower oxygen levels. It can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath, headache, and fatigue, known as altitude sickness. People may need time to acclimatize to the higher altitude to adjust to the decreased oxygen levels.
How is altitude treated?
Altitude sickness can be treated with oxygen therapy
Who was the first woman to climb Everest solo without bottled oxygen?
Alison Hargreaves. On 13 May 1995 she reached the summit of Everest without the aid of Sherpas or bottled oxygen.
Who was the first women to climb mt Everest without bottled oxygen?
Lydia Bradey from New Zealand in 1988 was the first woman to climb Mount Everest without bottled oxygen
Can fish survive in bottled water?
No, fish cannot survive in bottled water because it lacks the necessary oxygen and nutrients for them to live.
Is it necessary to bring extra oxygen for travel to high-altitude destinations"?
Yes, it is recommended to bring extra oxygen for travel to high-altitude destinations to prevent altitude sickness and ensure proper oxygen levels in the body.
What altitude do you need oxygen to fly a hot air balloon?
Hot air balloons typically do not require supplemental oxygen until altitudes of around 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). At this elevation, the air density decreases significantly, which can lead to reduced oxygen levels. Pilots may choose to fly higher, but they should be aware of the potential for hypoxia and the need for oxygen systems if exceeding this altitude. Safety regulations and personal comfort levels will also dictate altitude limits for balloon flights.
What does altitude do to the air pressure?
makes 40% oxygen than lower altitude
