Question
Give reasons for the following:
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them.

Solution
Atmospheric pressure is low at high altitudes. The volume of air increases and the air becomes less dense because the volume is inversely proportional to density. Hence, a lesser volume of oxygen is available for breathing. Thus, mountaineers have to carry oxygen cylinders with them.
