Read the picture carefully and answer the following questions.

1. Which of the two persons is experiencing lower atmospheric pressure?
2. Will he face a problem in breathing?
3. If yes, what should he do to ensure comfortable breathing for himself?

Answer 1

1. The person labeled A on the cliff (higher altitude) is experiencing lower atmospheric pressure.
2. Yes, he will face problems in breathing.
3. To ensure comfortable breathing for himself, he should either use supplemental oxygen or descend to lower altitudes gradually to adjust to the reduced atmospheric pressure and lower oxygen availability. This helps avoid breathlessness and altitude sickness.
